Mrs. Bernhardt's First Grade: May 10, 2024

I can't believe we have only 9 days of school left.

These last weeks will be filled with continued learning and

What a joy and privilege it has been to be their teacher!

On Thursday, May 16 we will celebrate Julia's Birthday with a Purple Hang Out Party. Julia is one of the school's lunch helpers. We can wear any PURPLE shirts with uniform bottoms. Classes will be giving her birthday wishes during a small open house. Our class will be making cards for Julia! If you want to send in a card or something little you may, she loves Thomas the Train, OREOs. M&Ms, Hershey bars, balloons, and the color purple.

The First- Third Grade musical Tuesday, May 21

Our 1st-3rd grade musical will be Tuesday May 21 at 1:45 p.m. and 6 p.m. in the Zion Sanctuary.

A special t-shirt will be worn with uniform bottoms for both performances as the costume.

I will keep the t-shirts after the 1:45 performance so just have your child come to the 6 p.m. performance wearing any light colored shirt and a uniform skirt or shorts and they will wear the special t-shirt over the other shirt.

The 1:45 p.m. performance is a dress rehearsal for Zion students but families are welcome to attend.

For the 6 p.m. performance, please have your child arrive at 5:45 p.m. in the church basement.

Teachers will not be in the church basement until this time, so please stay with your child until a teacher arrives.

Thank you so much for the gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week!

I feel very appreciated and loved!

He tends His flock like a shepherd:

He gathers the lambs in His arms

and carries them close to His heart;

He gently leads those that have young.

Isaiah 40: 11

Being a mom can be a rewarding yet challenging job!

Please know that God is with you and

He carries you close to His heart.
May you have a wonderful day!

Enjoy the special gift your child has for you.

I still have my daughter Maddie's on my dresser and she is now 23!

In HIM,

Amy Bernhardt

We spent 15 minutes reading Friday morning to remember and honor Mrs. Graham, who was a second grade teacher here and lost her battle with cancer. May 11 is her birthday!
