Week 12-13

November is here and we will be flying through holidays and the new year before we know it!

Congratulations to the LHS spelling bee contestants from 7th grade: Joseph, Alex, Kanin, Micah, Logan, and Berkley -- You will represent us well!

Students participated in a fun literature writing activity this week (see pictures below).  Students created a pipe-cleaner creation and then were asked to write a "how-to" for their creation.  We talked about the importance of word choice and self editing.  Students then switched with a friend and tried to follow the directions and make an exact replica without speaking with their partner.  Some creations were made flawlessly and others did not match at all!









Student Council is once again hosting a Thanksgiving food drive supporting the Seminarians at the Concordia Seminary in St. Louis (earlier field trip this year).  Zion, as a school, will gather donations (food, toiletries, and monetary) and pack 20 Thanksgiving dinners for Seminarians who will not travel home for the holiday.  Student Council members will pack the boxes and deliver them next Friday (11/18).  While they are there they will also stock the Seminary food bank with all extra donations.  The jr. high is asked to donate toiletry items as chapel offering Wednesday the 16th (nonperishable food items will also be accepted).
