Each year, prior to school starting, our teachers and support staff have a group outing. This year, the best staff in the biz enjoyed crazy bowling, complete with costumes, mulligans, extra bowling challenges and just plain, old fun. It’s going to be a great year!

Our students and staff were back on campus for our first day of school on Wednesday, Aug. 17. It was awesome to see so many smiling faces, some familiar and some new. We welcome more than 300 students to our campus this school year. We pray that they have a wonderful year being Zion Lions!

We are welcoming back a familiar face to Zion with the re-hiring of Mrs. Rachel Kintz for this upcoming school year. She will be teaching Kindergarten at Zion for the 22-23 school year.
