Elementary School Jog-A-Thon 2025
Racing into the Annual Elementary School Jog-A-Thon
Elementary campuses were full of energy and Eagle spirit as students participated in this year’s Jog-A-Thon fundraiser. Families cheered as students ran laps, high-fived friends, and celebrated teamwork. Proceeds from this long-standing annual tradition directly support enrichment opportunities and resources for students across our schools.
We are grateful to our parents, volunteers, donors, and PTOs for their dedication and hard work in making Jog-A-Thon both successful and fun for our elementary students.

Stories that
Connect
High School Speech Students Inspire Trailside Elementary School Second Graders
ZCHS speech students visited Trailside Elementary School to practice their communication skills by reading stories with second graders. The visit not only helped high schoolers sharpen their public speaking skills, but also gave younger students a chance to enjoy engaging read aloud stories while connecting with older peers. It was a win-win experience that showcased learning across grade hand in hand.

ZCS will host its next parent webinar on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. The session, “Suicide Prevention: What Parents Need to Know,” will be facilitated by ParentGuidance.org. All participation is anonymous, and the webinar is free for parents, guardians, community members, and youth advocates. A QR code for registration is included in this newsletter. If you are unable to join live, a recording will be shared on the ZCS website following the webinar.
Last month, ZCS partnered with the Central Indiana Educational Services Center and the Cook Center for Human Connection to host a webinar on “Substance Abuse and Vaping.” That recording, found here, will remain available on the ZCS website for one year.
