ZCS Do-Days
in Action

Students across ZCS spend three days serving their community

Classrooms, clubs, and teams across Zionsville Community Schools spent the week participating in Do-Days, a district-wide service initiative that encourages our students to make a difference in their community.

From assembling hygiene kits and writing letters of encouragement to organizing donation drives and supporting local organizations, students found creative ways to serve others. What began as a student idea in 2019 has grown into a district-wide effort that now engages an entire community.

Take a look through the photos below to see the many ways our students are putting service into action. Moments like these show that learning extends beyond the classroom, and that even small acts of kindness can have a powerful impact.

Note: Below are just some of the thousands of photos collected. Thank you to our students, staff, families, communities, business owners, and all nine schools for sharing amazing photos! This is what it looks like to be a Zionsville Eagle!
