Our School Theme this year is:
Jesus said, “PEACE be with you!
As the Father sent me I am SENDING you.”
John 20:21
Zion Lutheran School 2021-2022
We are filled with Jesus PEACE. No matter what comes our way Jesus can calm us with His PEACE. Jesus now SENDS us out into the world so that we can share His PEACE and LOVE with others.
First grade is such a BIG year for your child. I can't wait to be a partner with you as we help your child to grow spiritually and academically.
Here are some ways for us to connect before school starts...
This year I am doing a ZOOM Meet and Greet for each family. Please go to the link and sign up for a ZOOM time. This will be a time for us to get to know each other. This is for your first grader and their family.
Please click on the link and fill out the short form so that I can get to know your child.

I look forward to seeing parents and kids on
MONDAY, AUGUST 16 at ZION'S OPEN HOUSE!
Please sign up and spend 10 minutes with me during the Open House time. I find it helps if I only have one first grader and family in the room at a time.
At Open House your child will meet me, see our classroom, bring their supplies to school, and get their school picture. (so please wear your school uniform for the picture)
Family Picture Needed
Please email me a family picture before the Orientation on August 12. Thank you!
If you are a new family to Zion I would like to welcome you to our Zion family. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have!
My email is: abernhardt@zionharvester.org
I hope you enjoy the last bit of summer and are ready for school!

Hi, I have been teaching on and off for 27 years. I taught for 3 years then took 10 years off while my three girls were young. I have taught many grades including 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, and PDO. This is my 12th year in First Grade. I love First Grade and all the exploring, learning, growing, and fun we get to have!
I actually attended Zion 1-8, graduated from Lutheran High St. Charles, and earned a BA in Elementary Education at Concordia, Chicago. I have a minor in Biology and I love to teach Science. Although, I could teach reading all day. I love helping students become better readers and watch them begin to love reading. I also love art and teach students to appreciate art as well as master different techniques.
My passion is teaching and I love what I do. I want my students to know the love of Jesus and I try to share that love with them every second that they are in my room. I see each child as a special creation of God and try to treat them in a way that I would want my own daughters to be treated. I try to have fun in my classroom and I want my students have fun as they learn and to have a thirst for knowledge.
I grew up here in St. Charles and I am blessed to have my parents, sister and her family, and in-laws all living close by. My sister is Mrs. Hoehner, she is also a teacher at Chapel of the Cross in St. Peters.
My husband, Jon, is the principal at Lutheran High School, St. Charles. I have three daughters. Hannah, my oldest, is a Doctor orPhysical Therapy and lives in Evansville, Indiana. Grace, is a Senior at Concordia University in Nebraska and will graduate in December with major in Early Childhood Education. Maddie is my youngest and she is Junior at Concordia Wisconsin. She is majoring in Occupational Therapy.
In my free time I enjoy my family being together, the Cardinals, baking and cooking, reading, and playing with my dog Moseley.
