Rolling into
Spring Break

Eagle Elementary students bring a classic pastime back to life

Eagle Elementary students laced up their skates and rolled into a unit that brought a classic activity back into motion. Through roller skating, students built balance, coordination, and confidence while experiencing a pastime that has been bringing people together for generations. It was the perfect way to move into spring...on wheels, with smiles, and a little nod to old-school fun.

The Redcoats are Coming
to the Reading Battlefield

Union Elementary fourth graders build stamina and strategy through Battle of the Books

Fourth graders at Union Elementary School have been exploring the importance of understanding multiple perspectives through their Wit and Wisdom module, The Redcoats Are Coming! After studying both sides of the American Revolution, students took their learning to the “reading battlefield” with Battle of the Books.

The goal: build reading stamina, fluency, independence, and comprehension while exploring new genres. Students are encouraged to read as much as they can, with perseverance leading the way. In this battle, the only limit is themselves. Read on...the Redcoats are coming!

A Sound
of Belonging

United Sound plays at Zionsville Disability Awareness Festival

At the Zionsville Disability Awareness Festival, United Sound students demonstrated how music can create connection and community. By bringing students together to learn and perform side by side, the program builds confidence, friendships, and a true sense of belonging. It is a powerful reminder that in ZCS, everyone has a place!
