National Lutheran School Accreditation

ZLS Families,

We welcomed a team of Lutheran School principals, assistant principals, and teachers to our school this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) to review the evidence-based self-study report and school improvement plan that was completed by our staff.

I am pleased to share with you that they are recommending to keep our accreditation status in good standing!

In the coming weeks, I will share with you our 5-year school improvement action plan so you are aware and can support what our school is doing to continue serving our students for their good and to God's glory!

Praise is due this amazing school staff for all their hard work during the accreditation process!

2021 Fun Run

(in lieu of our Annual Auction)

This year, we have decided that in lieu of the annual auction, we will instead bring back the Lion’s Roar Kids’ Fun Run as our main fundraiser. The money raised will be used for the priority items annually funded by the school auction - technology and educational supplies to supplement our curriculum, programs, and instruction - so that ZLS can continue its mission toward growing minds, building character, and connecting hearts in Christ.

Some items include:

★ Music program (music education, choirs, musicals)

★ Chromebooks and other classroom technology upgrades

★ Art supplies

★ Science lab specimens

★ Library materials

★ Classroom supplies and subscriptions for teachers

★ Bus money for field trips

★ Challenge program expenses

★ Graduation celebration expenses

★ School and classroom furnishings

The Fun Run will be held on Monday, April 26th as a kickoff to our rescheduled National Lutheran Schools’ Week celebration, and all students in preschool through 8th grade will have the opportunity to help raise money by getting sponsors and walking or running laps that day during school.

More information about the event, incentives, sponsorship opportunities, and instructions for accepting donations are linked in this email.

We cannot thank you enough for your continued support for improving our great school! We are looking forward to a Fun Run day on Monday, April 26th.

In His Service, Mrs. Ananda Baron, principal, & the Zion Fun Run Team

Zion family,

Like last year, yearbook sales will continue to look a little different from previous years.

If you would like to purchase a 2020-2021 ZLS Yearbook, please complete this form to reserve your copy. The school office will notify you when they have arrived. They are anticipated to come before the last day of school. If so, they will be sent home with your child. If they arrive afterwards, we will make arrangements with you to get them. Yearbooks will not be sent home unless paid in full.

The cost of a yearbook is $25.00 per book.
