As usual, it has been very busy here at Zion Preschool! This year we have 160 students and 11 classes that meet in both the morning and afternoon—there is activity all around every day. We are so grateful for the energy, growth, and blessings we continue to see. 

Here are a few fun facts about our school. Did you know… 

  • Including me, we have 20 staff members. 

  • Six of our staff are members of Zion: myself, Kari Gresh, Barb Oechslein, Marian Oelschlager, Tevia Grimenstein, and Anna Gresh. 

  • Mrs. Nancy (Nancy Klemash) serves as our pianist during Kids Praise three times a week in the sanctuary. We end every Kids Praise session by singing the Doxology and saying the Lord’s Prayer. 

  • Mr. Doug (Doug Krantz) plays piano for our Christmas and End-of- Year programs. 

  • Pastor (known as “Mr. Pastor” to some of our students!) teaches Chapel three times a week in the sanctuary. 

  • Our parking lot is so busy that the South Fayette Police now assist with keeping traffic flowing smoothly. 

  • Our newly formed Bridge Builders team greeted parents during the first days of school and provided an appreciation lunch for our staff.

  • We have a 90%+ return rate of families from year to year.

    About this year’s Lenten Theme
    "Some hymns tell a story, others teach, and still others create pictures in our minds of the great works of God. Some hymns do all three, weaving together a tapestry that is beautiful yet simple, wondrous yet easy to understand. ‘O Love, How Deep’ (LSB 544) is that kind of hymn.” Journey through the history and hymn text for “O Love, How Deep” to see the depth, breadth, and height of God’s love for us, His creation. “For us” is encompassed in how God is beyond our comprehension, yet He took on the most accessible form to walk with us. Meditate on this historical hymn throughout the season of Lent to see how God’s love is steady, deep, and has no end.
