ZEF at Eagle Fest

ZEF celebrated back to school and the kick off to the Eagles football season at the 41st Annual Eagle Fest. We welcomed students and parents to our ZEF booth where they got to “spin the wheel” and win great prizes like candy, the oh-so-popular ZEF hat, and a chance to send their favorite ZCS teacher or employee an Eagle Honor. And, we might have spotted a familiar face or two in the dunk tank!

ZEF Celebrates
$2 Million Milestone!

ZEF is excited to announce that we have reached the $2 million mark in grants awarded to the Zionsville Community Schools. These grants represent steadfast community generosity coming alongside ZCS educators' dedication to student growth. 

 

In its first 20 years, ZEF awarded $1 million in grants to teachers, students, and schools. It only took another ten years to award the second $1 million. This $2 million milestone and accelerated timeline show the momentum that enables ZEF to grow with the district and to continue positively impacting education for every ZCS student and teacher.
