Principal's Message

Dear Zeh Families,

I hope everyone had a restful break. It was nice to have our students and staff back at Zeh this week and to get back into our routines. I enjoyed spending some time in classrooms and seeing the learning that’s already underway. As we move forward, we’re focused on maintaining consistency and making the most of our time together. We’re looking forward to a productive stretch of learning in the weeks ahead.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Enjoy the weekend!

PTO Updates

PTO Updates (1/9)

1/12: Monthly PTO Meeting at 6:30pm in Zeh Library
5/15: SAVE THE DATE FOR KIDZFEST!

Details:

PTO Monthly Meeting (Monday 1/12): Our next monthly meeting will be held on Monday evening 1/12 at 6:30pm in the Zeh Library. If you’ve been wondering what the PTO does or wanting to get involved but don’t generally have daytime availability, this evening meeting is the perfect chance to check us out!! All are welcome and snacks will be provided. Hope to see you there! Can’t make the meeting but still want to get involved? Email us!
PTO Sponsored Lowell Mills 4th Grade Field Trip: On 12/10, the fourth grade traveled to Lowell Mills to learn more about what it would have been like to work in the factories there, an experience which helped bring their social studies curriculum to life. The students even got to have a “hands on” work experience. Thanks to all families who have supported PTO fund-raising events throughout the year and enabled this wonderful trip to happen!!
Save the Date for Kidzfest (Friday 5/15): You won’t want to miss this awesome Zeh tradition! Join other Zeh families for carnival games, face painting, popcorn, raffles, and a silent auction. This is one of the PTO’s biggest fundraisers and we need your help! One huge way to help is to donate sports tickets, a few nights at a vacation home, specialty services, or gift baskets/gift cards for our Silent Auction. Have something to donate or want to get more info? Email us!
