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.scholastic.com/bf/zionlutheranschool4

This must be done prior to their class’ visit to the book fair in order to be utilized.

Wrap up for the Kid’s Heart Challenge

THANK YOU, students and families! Thanks to your extreme generosity
we have once again collected a record-setting amount of money for the
American Heart Association. So far we have raised over $19,200.00 and
the money is still coming in. This is incredible for a school of our size!
Our Heart Ambassador, William LaCroix, lead the way by raising
$1750.00. Other donations ranged from $5.00 to $805.00. An incredible
Ninety-one percent of our students took part in obtaining donations.
Amazing!
Our students worked hard at our Kid’s Heart Challenge events as they
ran through the obstacle course, jumped over short ropes, jumped over
long ropes, and kept pace with the helicopter rope. We had just enough
awesome volunteers to help our events run smoothly.
Please let me know if your child has not received a “Heart Hero” that
they have earned. The other “Thank you” gifts should arrive by late
March.
THANK YOU ZION FAMILIES! YOU ARE BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING!
In Christ,
Mrs. Steinbacher
