The Rocky Mountain District Teachers' Conference will be held next week, Wednesday, Sept. 30- Friday, Oct. 3. Zion teachers will be attending this conference so there will be no school on those days. Daycare will be available.

Thank you to everyone who helped out with the carnival, either by working at the booths or by donating goodies for the cakewalk. Your help is appreciated!

PTL's next fundraiser (selling Yankee candles) will begin on Monday, Sept. 28.

Both kindergarten classes will be going to Miller Farm (near Platteville) on Tuesday, Oct. 13. We will meet in our classroom at 8:00 a.m. We will leave Zion about 8:45 a.m. and return about 1:00 p.m. The cost is $8.00 for children and adults. Drivers will be needed. Sack lunches will also be needed. The official permission slip will come home after next week's break.

The kindergarten t-shirts have been ordered and should be here in about 2 weeks - in time for our trip to Miller Farm.

Beginning Monday, Oct.5, kindergarteners will be able to start checking books out from our classroom. They will be able to take one book home, read it, and return it the next day. (This is not like the school library where they keep it for 2 weeks!)

Parents who would like to volunteer in the classroom schould talk to Mrs. McFall about some of the areas where help might be needed.
