Message from the Principal | |
|
Dear Zion Families,
With only 81/2 more school weeks left of the 2022-2023 school year, time is going to fly by. We have many events that occur this time of the year. Some of our students will be partaking in their First Communion on Palm Sunday, along with a singing performance from our Kindergarten-8th grade students. That leads us into
Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Then we return from Easter break to look forward to Zion PTSL’s Spring Fling Carnival on Friday, April 21st! We have so much to look forward to at Zion... God is GOOD!
Mrs. Lyles,
Principal
All Things Grow with Love
“...so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith- that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength…” Ephesians 3:17-18
