Week 28

Forth Quarter Begins!  Can you believe it is the 4th quarter??  It is fun for me to reflect during this time of the year on how my students (your children) have grown, matured, and achieved greatness during this school year.  There is still more learning and growing to do, I love this time of the year (hopefully spring weather too)!!

"Thrive Best Choice" is presenting to the 7th grade this week.  7th graders will have one Thrive class everyday this week; today students discussed future goals and the positive/negative choices that can affect their futures.  Please ask them about their experience with Miss Lydia. I suggest asking them every day!  Remember, Thrive is here to support you in the discussion of relationships, abstinence, and living a Christ-centered life. So far, the 7th grade has laughed and participated well with our leader. It's a beautiful thing to see!

Achievement Testing will take place next week March 31-April 4.  Encourage good sleeping and eating habits this week.  Please also avoid appointments/missing school.  You know the drill.

Grandparent's day was a success. I hope your families enjoyed their time at Zion. Seeing your kids with their grandparents was awesome. I saw hugs, pride, love, and family.  It should make you so happy how great your kids are. Check out some pictures below. These kids and grandparents are so blessed.
