Principal for the Day
What a treat for Zion! During our annual golf tournament and auction, one of our main items to bid on is Principal for a day! Our first "guest” principal for this month was Adrian Aguilar (7th grade). On 4/23, "Principal Adrian" stepped into Ms. Swanlund’s shoes and saw how the school works. He even surprised us all with a FIRE DRILL! Thank you Principal Adrian for doing a great job and for steering us through the day! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
Zion is blessed to have such awesome families. Thank you for your presence and participation at the dinner/auction and golf. Your support means so much to all of us. Thank you, Committee Members and Volunteers for all of your work – before and during the event – you are the best! It looks like all the bills have been paid and all the auction items have been claimed. Congratulations on your fine efforts. We earned just a little over $25,000 for the school. Way to Go, Families!

Summer Classes Offered
June 11-27, 2008 (8:45-11:45 AM) Taught by Mr. Dan Fischer, this course is designed with two audiences in mind. first, it is students who anticipate taking Algebra 1 next year and would benefit from a "math boost" to insure that their math foundation is adequate to handle the rigors of Algebra I. Zion's Algebra I curriculum is equivalent to ah high school Honors Algebra course. Second, the class offers a different curriculum for students who have already taken Algebra I but would benefit from an intensive three week course designed to solidify and expand their algebra skills.
