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.

Message from the Principal |

Dear Zion Families,
Today our students participated in our annual District Service Day around Zion’s campus. Some of the services completed were planting plants and flowers, making cards for shut-ins, cleaning desks and windows, picking up trash on the playgrounds, and picking up trash for our community on Cypress Street. Our students worked hard and showed their pride and gratefulness for our Zion campus.
As we approach Thanksgiving, we think about all the things we are thankful for. Zion’s faculty and staff are thankful to our students for doing things to help improve our church and school. In addition, we are thankful to our school parents and families, and congregation members. We are grateful that you have chosen Zion to be your home!
Teaching thankfulness and gratitude to kids is one of the more challenging parts of parenthood. Not only is being grateful a really abstract concept for young children. But this is one of the most important things you can teach your kids—practicing gratitude sets kids up to be more sensitive and empathetic to the plights of others, as well as less demanding and entitled overall. Many experts also say that being grateful leads to increased overall happiness (and that goes for us too, fellow adults). Below are a few ideas with how to get started on teaching gratitude to our children:
1. Model gratitude out loud
2. Make a gratitude tree or jar
3. Read books
4. Make a gratitude collage
5. Donate with your children
6. Talk about it
7. Make gratitude part of your day, every day
Though understanding how to be grateful is essentially a lifelong learning process, there are many ways to begin to instill those qualities in your children in a gentle and relatable way. These simple activities will help you begin the conversation with your kids, and the consistency of those conversations will plant the seeds to grow a truly grateful and happy child.

- Limit close contact with people who are sick, and avoid sharing food, drinks, or utensils.
