A Message from the Principal:

Baptisms: Is your child baptized? Within Lutheran schools, if that answer is “no,” we often
make it an opportunity either at one of our school chapel services, or within our church services
on Sunday. Just as in all churches, some denominations view baptism different than others.
Our pastoral staff would welcome the conversation with you, or you can begin with your child’s
classroom teacher.
 Thanks for the Cookies: Thanks so much – Zion families – for the delicious cookies you
blessed us with!
 Tardies/Absences: Please be advised that RenWeb generates automatic reports to you and
to us when tardies and/or absences reach a certain level. At some point we will ask to conference with you to help us understand either lateness, or being absent too many day. Our goal is
always to work with you to come up with a solution.
Did you know? GENEROSITY
8th graders and $100: One of our families blessed our 8th grade class with an opportunity. They will each receive $100 and will need to come up with a plan to use it to bless
others. They will write about their experience, and will present it in a chapel service in
2015. Another great teaching opportunity in Christian education.
Pizza: Another one of our families purchased pizza for each classroom for their Christmas parties. BLESSED
Technology: Next week we hope to send you part of our plan to make our high-tech school
even more so. We will be initiating a technology fee for 2015 – 2016, and want you to be aware
of how it will be utilized to benefit the children of our school.
From the Faculty and Staff of Zion: We wish you a Merry Christmas and a
Blessed New Year!

Join us for the Christmas Program, Christmas Family Tree where the Christmases (Merry, Holly, Jolly and Whitey Christmas) are having their annual family tree trimming party for all the Christmas
cousins. When they invite their neighbor, Abbie Adams to join the fun, the Christmas family shares
Jesus’ family tree from Matthew, Chapter One. Through this genealogy, Abbie Adams learns of Rahab’s bravery, Ruth’s loyalty, David’s repentance, Josiah’s wisdom and Mary and Joseph’s obedience.
But most importantly, she learns that she, too, can be adopted into the Christmas Family Tree of faith.
This program will be presented on Christmas Eve, December 24 at 6:00 p.m.
On Wednesday, December 24, students should stay with their parents until 5:30 p.m. when their
teacher/s have arrived at their classroom. To maintain an atmosphere of worship, photographs and
videos are not permitted during the service. A video will be made (for each service) from the balcony
and made available for purchase after the holidays. Photographs may be taken at rehearsals or after
the services. Students should wear “Sunday Clothes”. Dresses or nice pant suits for girls, slacks, and
dress shirts for boys are appropriate.
