Each year the students and families of Zion have the opportunity to donate to a charity during the Christmas season. This year, our class is going to donate toys to St. Louis Children's Hospital. These toys are used in various places throughout the hospital including children's playrooms, emergency unit, radiology, Same Day Surgery, etc. Your child will have the opportunity to donate new, unwrapped toy(s) until Friday, December 19th. The following Monday, Dec. 22nd, the toys will be delivered to Children's Hospital.
