Tisch's Tidbits
Union Mileage/Running Club
Your child should have come home with a flyer with information about the running club that Mrs. Munley heads up. Be sure to take a look if interested. If you have any questions, feel free to email Mrs. Munley at lmunley@zcs.k12.in.us.
ISTEP
Today we celebrate. Today we celebrate everything your child has learned. This week we celebrate everything your child has mastered. This is their time to shine and to show what they know. The ISTEP will take place during the mornings each day this week. I have shared with the class that the only homework this week will be getting enough sleep, coming to school rested and with a belly full of good, nutritious foods so that they can be their best!
Animals for Ambulances
Last call! We have some amazing Girl Scouts who have spearheaded a fantastic project. They are collecting stuffed animals which will be donated to emergency workers to give to children. What a wonderful example of many lifeskills! Collection boxes are scattered around the school, so dig through all of those stuff animals and send in those that need a new home!

Jessica Lahey will be at the PAC
March 14, 2017, Jessica Lahey, author of The Gift of Failure will appear at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center. Regarded as a parenting and teaching expert, Ms. Lahey will present research and information from her New York Times Bestselling book.
Ms. Lahey's approach to parenting and teaching directly aligns with the new ZCS initiative "Strong in Every Way", which is designed to improve non-academic skills like grit and resilience.
Box Tops for Education
Box Tops for Education is a national program in which schools can earn cash by sending in Box Tops. Union Elementary has a 2016-2017 goal to earn $3500. Each box top that you collect is worth 10 cents towards Union. More information was sent home last week.
Please refer to this link for further information or Box Tops submission forms:
