Reminder: today we celebrate Veterans' Day at Zion. K-8 students are asked to wear their Zion polo and khakis. Students may be picked up in the classroom following the program (approx. 3:15) or at the regular 3:30 dismissal time. Join us at 2:00 pm for our special Vets Day program!
It was another awesome year for “Pumpkin Math” in the Kindergarten classroom. This year we had two pumpkins and split into two groups. Miss Nikodym’s group ended up on top, because their pumpkin had 744 seeds. Mrs. Peterson’s group was close with 642 seeds.
The Kindergarteners want to give a HUGE thank you to Mrs. Willers’ class for helping us count our seeds!
We had a blast learning about trees at the Hastings Museum yesterday!
