Zion Lutheran School will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27th.
This week is our National Lutheran Schools Week celebration, and every day comes with a fun dress up day (see below). For Wednesday, students may now choose between Monday’s or Tuesday’s or Wednesday’s themes. Pick whichever one they were most excited about or try to combine themes!
The lunch menu will remain as posted for Wednesday but will have corn instead of salad, and Thursday’s lunch will have salad instead of corn due to delivery changes.
Our boys’ and girls’ conference basketball tournament is scheduled to begin tomorrow. Mr. Ledebuhr, our athletic director, is in contact with the other schools who may be in session and will update our basketball team families as soon as he knows.
We also realize that our notification texts (and yesterday’s email) stated the dates as February instead of January…As of now, we plan to be in school on February 26th and 27th – no early celebrations just yet.
We’ll try not skip so far ahead next time.
We pray all our ZLS staff, students, and families are able to be safe, warm, and enjoy some more snow day fun. We will keep you posted if any further changes are needed this week.

Fun Run Fundraiser
Each fall, our students lace up their sneakers and hit the track for our annual Fun Run! This exciting event is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year, bringing together students, families, and our community to support important school projects and improvements. Students not only get to participate in a healthy, active event, but also learn the value of teamwork, perseverance, and giving back. Every donation directly benefits our school and helps us continue providing an excellent Christ-centered education. Thank you for cheering on our students and supporting their efforts to make a difference!
This years goal is $23,000 which will go to more school improvements. Here are the improvements we made with last years Fun Run and auction proceeds.
Before and After Bathroom Renovations




Before and After Stairwell Refresh

Together we can continue to make Zion Shine and continue to be the best place for our kids to learn and grow! Thank you for your support!
