Help us meet our Goal!
The student council has been raising funds this year for Spencer's Toy Chest. We would like to make a push for the next two weeks and see if we can get 25 or more gift cards donated. We are requesting gift cards in the amount of $10.00 or more. Gift cards may be from fast food, Target, Starbucks etc...
We have requested Gift Cards because many of the children are over 13 and would prefer to have a gift card over a toy.
Gift Cards may be brought to the school office on or before Friday, May 12th.
Student Council would like to thank you in advance for your donation of a gift card to meet our goal!

About Spencer's Toy Chest.
The original Treasure Chest was donated by Spencer’s Treasures to St. Joseph Hospital. That organization was founded in 2000, in memory of five-year-old Spencer Stockton who died of a rare brain tumor. He was treated at CHOC and St. Joseph Hospital. After his family moved away from Southern California, St. Joseph Hospital staff and community members have kept the Treasure Chest filled with good things for pediatric patients receiving radiation therapies.
Quick Facts:
*The chest is refilled on an ongoing basis
* Toys must be new, due to infection control
* Thousands of toys are needed year-round
* Depending on usage, the treasure chest can need up to 150 toys a week
Each child can choose one small item from the treasure chest after each radiation session, which can be once a day for weeks or maybe just one or two times, depending on the medical diagnosis. At the end of the entire treatment protocol, each child can choose a large item from the treasure chest to signal his or her successful completion of therapy! The age range of patients is from infant to teenager, so a variety of age-appropriate items is always needed for the treasure chest.

Message from the Principal | |
|
Dear Zion Families,
Wow! It is hard to believe that we only have two and a half weeks left in our school year. Admittedly, there were times this year when it seemed like the end of the academic year would never arrive and now that it is near, there doesn’t seem to be enough time to wrap everything up. We are doing double duty as we work to bring one academic year to a close while making preparations for next year.
This year will be remembered for a variety of reasons, but I will certainly remember all of our students this year for their perseverance and commitment to their education. Keep up the hard work as we finish out the last couple weeks of school with continued strength and enthusiasm!
Mrs. Lyles,
Principal
All Things Grow with Love
