ZCS Teacher
Lives Dream
“Today was incredible. Indescribable. I never would have had this opportunity without the support, guidance, and trust from my parents, colleagues, and the students at Zionsville Middle School. I’m proud to be an Eagle!”
ZMS Teacher Brittany Moon fulfilled a lifelong dream after being selected to fly with the Blue Angels. Brittany grew up around aviation and has a pilot’s license. Her message to students…never stop dreaming.
"I wanted to do this when I was 10. I would tell my students now...don't stop dreaming."
We are so excited for you, Mrs. Moon. You are an inspiration.

Eagle
Readers
Several of our Senior VIP members are collaborating with Eagle Elementary Literacy Coach Marissa Grant, dedicating their time to read with Grade 1-3 students at Eagle Elementary School every week. This intergenerational connection benefits both students and senior community members and aligns with the district's Strong in Every Way initiative.
Interested or know someone who might be interested in the Senior VIP Program?
If you’re (technically speak- ing!) a senior citizen north of 65 years young and a resident of Eagle or Union Township, we’d like to give you free admission to hundreds of school events including plays, concerts and sporting events. There are also speeches, carnivals and other fun opportunities for you to engage, enjoy, and/or learn. This year, our Senior “VIPs” joined us for a day to learn more about what is happening in our schools and to tour the new high school construction. To participate, call Lynn Kissel-Brown at 317 873-2858, ext. 11230.
