¡Queridos Padres!

Certainly, first graders have had enjoyed the snow! I am not sure if I am enjoying it as same as them?!? But here we go!
We are planning a food drive for His Harvest Stand…which is located just down the street at City on a Hill. It is a local food pantry benefitting local families in need.
We will collect the boxes of cereal and jars of peanut butter through Nov. 26.
Thank you for helping us bless others in our community!
I am excited and sad to announce to you all that this will be my last year at ZCS. God has called us to serve Him in Indiana as Pastors. We will deeply appreciate your prayers in this transition!

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, suggestion or advice.

Grace & Peace;
Maestra Ruiz
