Zion’s School mission is “Teaching Christ and Serving Families.” The school shares Christ by teaching students about Christ and changes lives by serving the school families.
Our vision is that all students will experience God’s love and forgiveness and learn to show that same forgiveness to others. Students will be safe, responsible, and respectful to themselves and others, and achieve academically to the best of their ability.

Zion Families
This week we recognize our Veterans. We lift up our servicemen and women, present and past, in prayer. God has entrusted these men and women with a very powerful and important role. Thank you for your courage, strength, and all the sacrifices that you make for our country!
Here are some ideas of how you can show your appreciation of the sacrifices they make for all of us:
-Celebrate with service. Show service members your gratitude throughout the year with a home-cooked meal, thank you note, or day of volunteering.
-Support veteran-owned businesses. It’s not always easy to identify which businesses are founded or operated by veterans. Contact your local chamber of commerce to see if they have any resources to help you find veteran-owned businesses near you.
-Express thanks. Whenever you see someone in uniform, extend a simple word of gratitude or a small act of kindness.
-Send a card. Start compiling a list of names and addresses of the Veterans you know and send them a thank you card this year. Continue building out your list and make a tradition of sending these out each year. It only takes 10 minutes to send a welcome gift to a veteran or deployed service member.
