Due to another wave of inclement weather, Zion's Thursday (1/11) game against Emmanuel-Faith York has been postponed.
Update: tomorrow's boys basketball game in Grand Island will be postponed. Please plan accordingly.

It was another awesome year for “Pumpkin Math” in the Kindergarten classroom. This year we had two pumpkins and split into two groups. Miss Nikodym’s group ended up on top, because their pumpkin had 744 seeds. Mrs. Peterson’s group was close with 642 seeds.
The Kindergarteners want to give a HUGE thank you to Mrs. Willers’ class for helping us count our seeds!
We had a blast learning about trees at the Hastings Museum yesterday!
