Welcome to Spring! It is great to see the sun shining and the snow melting. In saying that, I do know Michigan enough to realize another snowstorm just might blow in, but I’m going to stay positive!

We have had a lot going on at Zinser. February saw a few snow days, a Valentine’s Multi-Age Day with fun activities including Jump Rope for Heart and a visit from the Conquerors, as well as our final Roller Skating Party. Teachers have been working hard at obtaining a guaranteed and viable curriculum that we can deliver to each student, viewing MAP scores and trying to continually improve our instruction, and our district continues to explore a performance and standards driven system of education (hopefully you’ve been able to visit a parent forum).

With the support of the Kenowa Hills community, the Buffalo Wild Wings Benefit for Megan Heeringa was a huge success! THANK YOU to everyone who supported this event! A check from BBWs will be presented to the Heeringa family to help with medical related expenses. Together, we were able to raise just over $500.00 for the Heeringa family. Your support is appreciated!

On Monday, May 20th, 2013, school will not be in session for your kindergarten student. The teaching staff will be holding Kindergarten Orientation on May 20th for our incoming kindergarten students and their parents.

I hope this gives you ample notice to make arrangements for your kindergarten student, if necessary. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we welcome the Kenowa Hills Class of 2026!
