October 27, 2021

 

We learned about Martin Luther and the Reformation.

We are thankful that Martin Luther was bold to tell the truths about God.
He even used art to teach about God.

May we be BOLD like Martin Luther and tell others about God's everlasting, enduring, great love for us! 

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, Thursday, October 28. 
I have a full schedule, please keep me on time by knocking when it is your scheduled time.

Our First through Sixth Grade Students are preparing to participate in the

2021 STACK UP

sponsored by the World Sport Stacking Association.

 

Our First through Sixth grade students will be working on their Sport Stacking skills during their PE classes for the next few weeks. Sport Stacking (also known as Speed Stacking or Cup Stacking) is a sport in which specially designed cups are stacked in specific patterns as quickly as possible. It has been called a “track meet for your hands” and not only improves eye-hand coordination, but also academic learning.  When students sport stack they are crossing the midline of their bodies and developing new connections in their brains. Not only that---SPORT STACKING is FUN and competitive!

 

Our Sport Stacking unit will culminate the week of November 15, 2021 as we add Zion’s  number of Sport Stackers to that of people stacking all over the world. This year we will attempt to break the 2019 World Record of 624,390 students participating in the event. 

 

If you are interested in purchasing equipment for your child please use Zion’s  direct link: speedstacks.com/go-direct/37067-10346742.  Mrs. Steinbacher recommends purchasing a set of cups and the timing mat with the timer as seeing your time improve with practice is very motivational. Our sale runs from Nov. 1  through Dec. 12, 2021. Your purchase also helps raise funds for additional PE equipment for Zion.  

 

Please contact Mrs. Steinbacher at msteinbacher@zionharvester.org with any questions.

October 22, 2021


This week we learned about the children of Israel crossing the Jordan River to go into the Promised Land.  After the waters parted and the people were safely across Joshua picked 12 men to be leaders. These men each got a stone and a monument was made to remember what God had done for them.  When people would pass by the standing stones God's people would tell of the what God had done for them.

May we be standing stones who tell others the wonderful things God has done for us!

A Few Reminders:

If your child will be missing school due to illness school work is available between 3-3:45 in the cubby in the main school foyer.

If your child is missing school for another reason school work is NOT given ahead of time and will be given upon return to school.

If your child misses school due to quarantine work and ZOOMing will begin available and I will let you know when the work is available to be picked up.

If you need to make a change in your child's pick up routine during the school day PLEASE CONTACT THE OFFICE.  I often don't have time to check my emails during the day.  The office will let me know over the intercom if there is a change.  Thank you!

Thank you Zion for the overwhelming outpouring of Jesus love.
