A coloring contest is being sponsored by Zion's National Junior Honor Society. The picture for the kindergarten students came home Wednesday and needs to be returned by Monday, Nov. 16th. Crayons, markers or colored pencils may be used to complete the picture.

Zion is gathering canned and non-perishable food items to give to needy families in the Brighton area. Donations may be placed on the table in the school entryway by Sunday, Nov. 22nd.

The "Giving Tree" gives families or individuals the opportunity to buy a plant, bush or tree that is needed for landscaping around the new school addition. Every item purchased will help reduce the overall cost of the project. The tree is in the school entryway. Take the item you wish to purchase off the tree and place it in the box (or basket) with a check or cash. We appreciate any and all donations!

Both kindergarten classes will be taking part in the Advent services here at Zion on Wednesday, Dec. 9. KAM will do the 10:00 a.m. service and KPM will do the 7:00 p.m. service. Everyone should plan to participate. Parents, grandparents and friends are welcome to attend. We are working on learning the songs and recitations in class, but I will also send them home so that you may work with them too.

If any book orders are meant to be gifts, let me know and we'll get them to you.

There is no school Wednesday - Friday, Nov. 25-27 for Thanksgiving break.

Friday, Dec. 4 there will be no KPM class. KAM will meet at the regular time. Streets of Bethlehem is that night and the following night here at Zion and setup needs to be completed Friday afternoon.
