We have learned a lot this year.

I encourage you to join the Summer Reading Program

at the library! It is a great incentive to keep reading.

Due to lack of students I am CANCELLING the Summer Reading Camp.

I am so thankful to God for this school year. It has been a joy to share your children this year. I have seen them grow so much and feel blessed that I was given the opportunity to teach them. This is a class full of so many talented and unique personalities. Thank you for partnering with me this year. I feel that your children and you have become part of my family. I will keep you in my heart and prayers. I am truly blessed and love coming to school everyday. To God all praise and glory.

All for ONE,

Amy Bernhardt

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!

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.
