Zion families - yesterday a big packet went home with all the details about our upcoming Lutheran Schools' Week celebrations, the Plant Sale, the Book Fair, and much much more! Details can also be found in the section on news and in the documents section of the app/website!

The 3rd, 4th and 5th graders wrote encouraging letters sharing the Gospel with students, faculty and staff on UNK's campus that are signed up through Holy Cross Campus Ministry. These letters were included in care packages sent out in time for Lent. Pictured are 3rd graders assembling the care packages with Megan Barone, where envelopes were filled with those letters, 120+ student-made scriptural bookmarks, Band-aids, a snack, pocket crosses, etc.

Parents - an important packet went home today with the students, which included the newsletter, parent-teacher conference schedules, and much more! Please look for it or check the app under documents! Thank you!

Due to continued inclement weather Zion will be closed Thursday, January 19, 2023.

Due to the forecast winter storm coming in tonight, school has been cancelled for Wednesday, January 18.

Parents, today an important packet is going home. Please check with your child to find the newsletter, auction info, and parent-teacher conference sign-ups. The newsletter has also been posted on the app.
