Principal's Message 

Dear Zeh Families,

Earlier this week, the Sky Dome Planetarium visited Zeh, thanks to the support of our PTO. Inside the inflatable dome, students learned about the planets, stars, and our solar system through an engaging presentation featuring some very cool visuals.

I’m looking forward to the Cocoa House Talent Show on Monday evening. It’s always wonderful to see the many talents of our students and to spend time together as a school community. Whether your child is performing or not, we hope to see you on Monday from 6:00 to approximately 7:30.

Have a great weekend!

Mr. Bell
