*Calling Drew’s Avengers! Our offerings this year are going to Friends of Kids with Cancer.  On Wednesday, October 25 we will be having a special offering.  In honor of Drew Albrittons’ 8th birthday, we will be collecting superhero items and all donations will be delivered to Friends of Kids with Cancer. Drew was a preschooler here at Zion who bravely fought cancer and now is with the biggest superhero of all, Jesus! Please bring your superhero items to chapel on Wednesday October 25.
Action figures, costumes, toys, movies, backpacks, Lego sets, video games, shirts, or any items with a super hero theme are all welcome. If you are worried you will forget on that specific day we can collect/store items in the classroom.
See the note below from our music teacher, Mrs. Crumrine:
*We are excited to be participating in the Picture the Music contest with the St. Louis Symphony again this year.  This is a collaborative music/art project put on by the Symphony Volunteer Organization.  Each year a different piece of music is chosen for the students to listen to—this year it is the Olympic Fanfare from the 1984 Olympics by John Williams.  The children then draw/color/paint/etc. whatever they hear in the music and we may choose up to 7 pieces of artwork from Zion to submit to the contest.  Students from all over the metro area participate and there is an awards ceremony in March for the finalists.  The students may bring their artwork home to finish it;  they may paint, use markers, decoupage (flat, not 3D), glitter, crayons, etc.  Please have them return their pictures to school before Christmas break so that we may choose our submissions before the January deadline.  If you have questions, please email Mrs. Crumrine at kcrumrine@zionharvester.org

Grades for Social Studies and Science will be based on a semester model, as opposed to quarterly, for the K-3rd-grade department. Grades in these subjects that have been earned during first quarter will be moved into the second quarter tab in Sycamore before report cards are issued. This will allow you to view your child's progress as the quarter develops in a particular subject yet, it will offer students more time to absorb and hopefully master the material in both content areas before a final grade is recorded.

*This is the last week of 1st quarter


*A special thank you to our field trip chaperones: Cheryl T., Christi B., and Julie K.
We will be taking a bus to the St. Louis Art Museum on the morning of Friday, Oct. 27th. That afternoon we will have our Harvest party. Look for permission slips to come home on Friday, Oct. 13th.

Reflecting on our week:
We had fun working in the STEM Lab with hard-boiled eggs! We used the eggs to help us better understand the three layers of the Earth and the plates on the Earth's crust.
