6th Grade American Architectural Style House Sculptures 6th grade artists built cardboard houses while learning about the different architectural styles found in the community. Once the houses were built, students took on the role of realtor by writing property listings and the task of persuading their classmates to buy their houses. Students also got for their favorite houses. Congratulations goes to Naomi Turner - Best of Show, Liz Wertman- Most Realistic, Kobey Shanton-Most Creative , and Nate Laird- Best Realtor.

Advocating for the students of Zane Trace sometimes requires heading to the state capital. Yesterday in Columbus, our school was represented by Mr. Wertman, Mr. Tatman, and Mr. Foreman who met with Congressman Bob Peters, Congressman Mark Johnson, and Senator Shane Wilkin to discuss the educational future of our Zane Trace Pioneers.
