March 2, 2012

Grow in the Grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever.  Amen
2 Peter 3:18

Next week we will be celebrating Lutheran Schools Week.  We get to thank God for the blessings He gives us at Zion Lutheran School.  At any school your child would grow academically, emotionally, and socially.  Zion is special, because here at Zion your child will grow also grow spiritually in God's Grace.  At Zion your child is daily fed with God's Word, your child is surrounded by God's love and forgiveness, and your child always with family.  Praise God for the growth at our Lutheran School!!

BOOK FAIR:  Our class will go over to look at the book fair on Tuesday at 8:30.  If your child would like to purchase a book please put their money in an envelope with their name on it.  I will collect the envelopes and give the money to the kids at the book fair.  Some like to just look at the books to get an idea of what their grandparents may buy them!
