Fine Arts

Zion offers many different outlets for our young artists. 

Whether your child's medium is drama, art, music or more... we have a little something for everybody.

Teachers in all grades incorporate art into their curriculum.  Whether it is a study of a particular artist or a general technique, the benefits of art are numerous. 

Arts education has been shown to improve: 

  • problem solving skills
  • cognitive skills
  • fine motor skills
  • social skills
  • language

Arts education also encourages students to take risks, and learn from their mistakes.

Annual Spring Musical

2010 Musical Announcement

Zion Lutheran School is thrilled to announce our Spring Musical:  Guys & Dolls Jr.!!!


Auditions will be held in November.
Keep an eye on the Wednesday Newsletter & Music bulletin board for more information.
Please contact Ms. Shisko, Music Dir., or Mrs. Hovatter, Artistic Dir., with any questions!

"Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys And Dolls Jr introduces us to colorful characters who have become legends in the musical theatre canon: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll,"; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, a nightclub performer whose chronic flu is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiance, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating dice game"



"Zion Lutheran has been doing spring musicals for over 20 years.  Families enjoy watching the musicals and some parents enjoy helping make the set of our musicals and making the costumes.  The students have a great time though the whole process of auditions, rehearsals, making new friends, and performing!"

Hand Bell Choir

Hand bells is open to students in 4th - 8th grades.  Practice is once a week with multiple yearly performances.
 

" The handbell choir is very exciting.  Children in fourth to eighth grade are allowed to participate.  We practice once a week and play throughout the school year on Sundays and Wednesday during Chapel.  I am in the handbell choir and it is very fun.  Even if you don't know how to play the bells, you can still participate as long as you know how to ring a bell.  The handbell choir director even highlights the notes for you!  It is a great experience and you are honored in the picture at the end of the yearbook."  - L.L., 5th grade student
