This week is National School Counseling week and we want to recognize our councelors. Thank you to Morgan Stamschror our counselor at the Elementary Building. Thank you for the great relationships you have with students and all you do for them!

National Signing Day is Wednesday, February 5. We will recognize our student-athletes who will be committing to participate in college athletics at 8:45 in the high school gym. Family and supporters are welcome to attend.

Thank you to Mrs. O'Connor and our 2nd-grade students for putting on an amazing performance! We are so proud of all your hard work. What a fun event!

These amazing students were selected as Primary Shining Stars of the Month for December. Thank you for being great examples of a ZM Primary Student who demonstrates the Cougar Pride Behaviors!

A huge thank you to all those who participated in the Dance Team Clinic this week! What a great job practicing and performing at the basketball game! Also, a huge thank to you Coach Roth and all of the dance team coaches and helpers!

Just a reminder that Becky will be here tonight to present at 5pm! Please join us if you have questions or want to learn about the ever changing landscape of post-secondary education.

Congratulations to our January 13th weekly Cougar Paw Winners. BE SAFE-BE KIND-BE RESPONSIBLE!

During Primary Ignite Class, students learned about and built symmetrical snow crystals, honored Martin Luther King Jr. and his work by building a speaking platform and built models of wintery places/activities.  SO MUCH LEARNING HAPPENING!

During Paraprofessional Recognition Week, January 20th–24th, we celebrated our amazing paraprofessionals. We are truly grateful for their dedication and the invaluable support they provide to our students and staff every single day.

Congratulations to our 7-12 January Students of the Month! These students exemplify Cougar Pride!
