Zion's COVID-19 risk has now moved to green level. Effective immediately Zion will begin protocols set for operation in the "green" risk level. In most respects, school operations will continue as normal. Mask usage is now optional. Temperature checks and handwashing procedures will remain in place.
These changes were based on new CDC guidance for schools which prompted the move to green by Kearney Public Schools last Friday. The Zion administration concurs with the risk dial move to green and will do the same.


The remaining plants are 50% off. Come to the hallway by office to see what is left.

There is an important packet going home today. Please check your student(s) backpack. Have a great weekend!

We had a fantastic end to our plant sale pre-orders. We ended up selling over $40,000 worth of plants! Absolutely amazing! Every class earned Eileen’s cookies, and Mrs. Willers’s class was the top selling class and earned an ice cream party. Prizes will be given out after the plant pick-up days. Madison was our last week’s top seller. Great job!
We will have extra plants available for sale for anyone who didn’t get to order or would like to pick up some more plants. Also, if you haven’t signed up to pick up plants please do so at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040b4badab2fa5ff2-plant.

Take a look and claim anything that is yours at the lost and found tables located inside the south doors. The tables will be up until Friday.
