Car washes are by donation and everyone gets a coupon for a free Steak 'n Shake milkshake! They will be washing cars in the Verizon Parking Lot behind Steak 'n Shake. (981 N. Bridge St.).


The Bee Mobile Library was a huge success this year, and, because of our 6th graders, the program is expanding in our middle school and to other schools throughout the county! We are so proud of our ZT students! Also, the library would like our students to know about a wonderful volunteer opportunity this summer.
This link will take you to the info page about teen volunteers on the library’s website. It explains the program.
