Important News and Information:
-Just a reminder that I will be in Belize next week. Please pray that we have a safe trip, that we are able to make connections with schools throughout the country so that Zion may partner with them in the future, and that we may love the people and community as Christ loves us. If you have any updates on dismissal arrangements, or appointments, please let Julie Schmidt know, who will be able to pass along the information to the sub. I should hopefully have internet access in the evenings, but am not sure how reliable it will be.
-Jump Rope for Heart on Friday, Feb. 10th
-For Valentine's Day, students may bring in Valentines (no candy though) as long as they bring one for the entire class. We have 20 students. A class list was sent home in homework folders today. I will have the kids make a Valentine bag in class to hold their Valentines.
