Important Points of Interest:
- Read Across America Field Trip to LHS on Friday, March 1st. I am in need of parent drivers for this trip. Please email me if you can help drive. We plan on being at LHS from 10:15-11:15. Students are asked to bring Dr. Seuss books from home to take to LHS to read during the event. We will return after our scheduled lunch time so we will have a pizza party in our classroom. If your child doesn't like pizza they can bring a cold lunch.
- I am in need of a couple more parent drivers for Friday. So far I have Mrs. McBroom (4), Mrs. Jameson (4), Mr. Heinen (possible-2), and Mrs. Bromberg (4). Let me know if you can help. Background checks are required.
- Spring Auction Round Up is coming February 25 through March 1st! We are looking for donations for the Zion School Auction April 12, 2019 at a new location, the Piazza Messina in Cottleville. You can drop them off before school all week at the main school entrance or the Early Childhood entrance. For every $25 in donations, you will receive a ticket for an opportunity to win 2 FREE Auction Tickets! Also, the class with the highest percentage of families who donate will win 30 minutes of gym time (Grades K -8th only)! Need donation ideas?

Looking ahead:
- Ash Wednesday is March 6th.
- Please send in one white pillowcase for Grandparents Day. We will be making a keepsake. Please send them in by Wednesday, March 6th.
- Grandparents Day will take place during the afternoon of Thursday, March 7th! Our fun starts at 1:00 and we are asking grandparents to meet both classes in the gym. Both classes will sing together and we will explain the different activities and locations( apart from the gym we will only be in the Early Childhood Wing of the school). At dismissal, students will either leave with their grandparents or I will follow their regular after-school procedure. *Preschool will have Grandparents Day that morning and 1-8th grade will have Grandparents Day on Friday.
The book fair will be going on March 6th-March 8th. Se the information below:
It’s a Dino-Mite Book Fair
Zion’s Annual Book Fair is coming up! It’s going to be Dino-Mite! All proceeds will benefit the Zion School Library. This year, our All For Books donations will help the The Arch Community School, the charter school at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St. Louis.
NEW this year is the option for parents and kids to pay with the Book Fair eWallet. Many parents don’t carry cash anymore, or have cash on hand when their child delivers the news… “Mom! Dad! It’s Book Fair day!” The eWallet is a digital payment option offered through Scholastic that gives parents a safer alternative to sending their children to school with cash. It’s easily funded using a credit card, but with the convenience of setting a spending limit. See the flyer in Friday Folders on how to set up your students’ eWallet by visiting http://www.
This must be done prior to their class’ visit to the book fair in order to be utilized.

Wednesday, 3/6 (Class Visit Day/ Ash Wednesday) 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Our students also have the opportunity to pre-order a specially priced paperback edition of Jeff Kinney’s new book series, Diary of An Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson’s Journal. To order your copy, complete the pre-sale form and either return it to your child’s teacher with payment (don’t forget the tax!) or send the order form with your student on their book fair day.
