| Purpose Statement The goal of Zion Lutheran School is to help students develop a relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We realize that the adolescent child requires unique attention and care. In response to God's plan, and by the direction of the Holy Spirit, we pledge to respond to the learning, behavioral, social, and spiritual needs in such ways that provide opportunities for success and growth for these young servants in God's world. |

Yearbook: Yearbook class is offered by student application and selected by the teaching staff. This class requires the presumed skills of the average junior high English student. Over the course of the year, the students follow a curriculum of planning, designing, and creating the school yearbook. Choir: The choir program endeavors to educate and engage students in music experiences that will prepare them for subsequent choral music classes in their high schools. We offer a choir setting with emphasis on two and three part music with performance goals throughout the school year. Extra-Curricular Activities: In order to develop all the talents of each child, we offer a wide variety of extra curricular activities. These include: volleyball, basketball, cross-country, track, cheer, drill team, chess and math competitions, drama club, chapel club, knowledge bowl, and other fine arts activities. Seventh and eighth grade students experience fun and fellowship on a retreat to Camp Lutherwood in September. During this time, they also enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing, hiking, worship, and learning how to develop healthy relationships. Eighth grade students celebrate graduation and enjoy an end-of-the year trip to Lake Chelan State Park.
