God had important work for Paul to do.

On Friday, May 18th, students in grades 1-8 will participate in a “Faith Family Field Day”. We will eat a picnic lunch, play games, and have one last fun time with our Faith Families! Zion will be providing cheese pizza from Domino's, goldfish and water for the picnic lunch. If your child does not want that lunch or is unable to eat that lunch due to allergies, please have your child bring a cold lunch on Friday, May 18th. Your child will also be spending the afternoon out in the sun, so please apply sunscreen in the morning before your child comes to school. This will also be a SPECIAL SPIRIT DAY your child may wear a Zion/LHS t-shirt and non uniform bottoms! Thanks!

There will be no hot lunch served the last week of school, May 21-23.
Milk and Juice will be available for $.50 and assorted snacks will be available for $.50. These items are available on a cash only basis. Students need to pack a cold lunch for the last week of school.

To help prevent the summer academic slide... I will be having a summer reading camp. This camp will focus on maintaining on grade level reading and writing. Each session will include reading, writing, and an activity. It will be held on Tuesdays in the mornings. I like to keep the sessions small.

I plan on having two sessions, 9-10:15 and 10:30-11:45. The sessions will be on June 5, June 12, June 26, July 10, July 17, and July 24.

You may sign up for some or all of the weeks. The cost will be $15.00 a week. If you are interested and would like to sign up please go to the google doc form and put your name on the time and date you would like to attend.
