Newsletter Friday, Feb 1

WOW! We had such a great week. Celebrating National Lutheran School's Week is one of my most favorite things during the year. The students did an awesome job participating in the dress up days. We also had many fun activities. Thank you to you for sending your child to Zion. It's such a great place to learn and grow.  Enjoy our pictures from this week (I have some more from our Guess Who games, I'll be adding them a little later today.

We started each day with announcements in the hallway and singing a song as a whole school.
