Education Through Athletics

Zion students receive physical education instruction twice a week, in which they are introduced to a variety of sports and teamwork activities.

• Respect- to display and embody the philosophy of good sportsmanship behavior.

• Discipline- to push yourself to be and do your best daily.

• Teamwork- to work together, share, complement each other, and achieve more as a team than by oneself.

• Listening- to reinforce the importance of being a good listener by following rules and directions of games and applying what is heard from classmates, teachers, and parents

• Faith- to understand that God gives us challenges every day so that we learn to never give up no matter how arduous the task.
