Knowing Jesus, Growing in Faith, Serving God’s Children
Dear Preschool parents (Tues./Thurs.), www.zioncrusaders.org
What a fantastic weekend! I was expecting the 20 degree nights and was pleasantly surprised by the days. I hope that you were able to get out and enjoy it some!
We have a short week due to parent-teacher conferences on Thursday and Friday.
This week in Jesus Time we learn about when Hannah prayed, found in 1 Samuel 1:1-28; 2:19. We learn that God answers our prayers and blesses us with many good gifts.
On Tuesday we will have some spidery fun! We will make handprint spiders and graph who likes spiders and who does not. We will also enjoy Raffi’s “There’s a Spider on the Floor.” We will visit our school library on Tuesday. Please help your child remember to bring their book back.
We will not have preschool on Thursday morning due to parent-teacher conferences.
Daycare kids will participate in Chapel on Tuesday afternoon. Our Chapel offering this month goes to Care-Net Pregnancy Center. Offerings can be money or baby supplies.
The Art to Remember packets are due on Tuesday, Oct. 30. If you want to buy the magnet, it is $5.50. They do make great Christmas presents for grandparents!
Parent-teacher conferences are on Thursday and Friday morning. If your scheduled time will not work, please see me so that we can reschedule.
We will have 10 spots available for morning daycare on Thursday, Nov. 1. Kindergarten through grade 5 have class until 11:15AM and then classes and daycare will all dismiss at 11:15AM on Thursday, Nov. 1. There is no class or daycare on Friday, Nov. 2.
The All Saints’ Gathering is coming! This is Zion’s alternative to trick-or-treating. There will be fun and games and lots of candy here at Zion on Wednesday, Oct. 31 from 5-8PM. Friends are welcome to come, too! We are asking that you bring one bag of candy for each child you are bringing, so that there is lots of candy for all!
The teachers will be taking turns running the Creation Cake Walk. If you like to bake, we would love to have any cakes or cupcakes you’d be willing to donate!
Nov. 16 will be the PTL Family Swim Night at the Roosevelt pool from 6:30-8PM. It’s fun to be all together in the water with our school families!
Mark your calendars now! The Preschool-Kindergarten Christmas Service will be on Thursday, Dec. 6 at 7PM. We will be doing an adaptation of the book “Brown Bear, Brown Bear,” called “Angel, Angel.” Remember to bring those cameras!
I pray God’s richest blessings on your week. Please feel free to call my anytime with questions or concerns.
