Our 6th graders have been carving their path all year by setting their goals and celebrating their achievements each quarter. Their journey has ended for this year, but we know they will continue to carve their path throughout the rest of their years at Zane Trace.

Wednesday is student banking day! Each student making a deposit will receive a charger from Atomic Credit Union!

Words, passion, and a little bit of competition! 🖋️ The Pioneer Pens & Pencils participated in the Creative Chaos writing competition on Saturday at Teays Valley Middle School, and while we love our after school writing sessions, it was amazing to see how everyone rose to the challenge. We had five students participate: Callie Miller, Preston Ogg, and Charlie Fletcher participated on the middle school team. We also had Autumn Vick and Natalie Boltenhouse, who are both former Pens & Pencils writers, participate on the high school team. Writers had an hour for each of the three prompts, which included writing a narrative essay, poetry, and an argumentative essay. The middle school finished 4th, and the high school 3rd. Autumn Vick finished 2nd in narrative writing, and she also finished 2nd as best overall writer in the high school competition. We grew so much as writers this week! We are now looking forward to taking Callie Miller to the state Power of the Pen competition at the end of May. Let's go Pioneers! 📖💫
