Important News and Information:
-Easter Break will begin on Friday, March 25th. School resumes on Monday, April 4th. Enjoy your long breaks!
-Wednesday, April 13 is a half day. We will dismiss at noon for a teacher inservice. If you would like your child to go to after care that day, please return the form (sent in homework folders on Thursday) to the school office as soon as possible. 
-Classroom Wishlist: We are in desperate need of dry erase markers!  We also need brown grocery bags for an art project in April, if you have any laying around, I will gladly take them off your hands:)
-The 2016 auction item for Miss Beach's class will be a book made by the students and published with Student Treasures, which is the company the school is used in the past. The school as a whole is not doing these books this year, and us room moms have decided that we have enjoyed these books tremendously in the past, and wanted to catch this opportunity. Each student will contribute a written page and accompanying drawing into the classroom book that will be based on this year's theme verse. This will be done in school, so no worries about working on it at home. The only thing we ask is to consider purchasing one of these books, which will be $25.00. They are normally $19.95, but we'll charge an additional $5 to make it the fundraiser to go towards the Zion PTL's auction fund. There will be a form that will be coming out in a couple of weeks that will formalize the purchase of the book, but for now we just wanted to give you a heads up on our upcoming auction project. To clarify we will not have a classroom item to bid on at the actual auction, but instead by purchasing this book, we are giving each parent an opportunity to come away with a momentum from this year's class!  These books take awhile to go through the production part. So we will order them in a couple of weeks and get them at the end of the year. Please ask the room moms:  Kristen Gross, Rhonda Coplin, Darla Hollowood and Robin Collins if you have any questions about this project.
-There are several church services at Zion this weekend to celebrate Christ's victory over sin, death, and the devil. I pray that your family may find time to worship our Savior this joyful Easter weekend, whether it be at Zion, at another church, or through prayer at home.
