We experienced a power outage today due to a transformer issue, which was resolved around 12:30 PM. Please rest assured that all students were safe, fed, and engaged during this time. Thank you for your understanding.
Seventh grade students in Mrs. Thompson's Arts and Humanities class were learning about the Principles of Art and Design. To show movement, students drew an octopus moving through water. They colored it with both colored pencil and watercolor paint.
ZMS Staffulty Shoutout of the week goes to Ms. Abbie Miracle! As a flexible substitute, she is so helpful and kind in every classroom she serves. We appreciate you so much!
Snapshots of ZMS Student Learning: In Mrs. Badgley's social studies classes they have been studying medieval times. Students have been researching and designing their own heraldry shields as well as practicing medieval calligraphy skills. Students appreciate the opportunities for learning, reading and writing unlike most folks in those times!
Next week all students will get a chance to raise money for a good cause during 5th period enrichment time. For $1, students can pay to play basketball in the gym. All proceeds will be donated to pediatric cancer research. Let's show our PACK value of kindness! #bepartofthePACK
