What a Fabulous experience! Fort Zumwalt orchestra teachers reached out to the Piano Guys when their December performances at the Fox Theatre were announced. “We asked if they had any time to work with our FZ students before or after their show on Dec. 6,” DuBray Middle teacher Chris Torretta says. “They said they did not, but they were looking for local student violinists to be featured in one of their songs when they perform!” Seven FZ violinists and one Wentzville violinist joined the Piano Guys on the Fox Theatre stage Tuesday. They are:
Jackson Parkes (FZE), Andrew Lubiewski (FZN), Lillianna Hellman (FZN), Ayman Amerin (FZW), Timberland’s Kaya McNurlen, Alan Meyer (FZN), Panavi Achanti (FZE), and Ellie Clark (FZS). Congratulations!

Welcome to Finance Friday, some insight on school finance. Did you know local revenue sources make local schools possible? They are the most reliable source of revenue in the district’s budget. Personal property tax alone is 9.4% of Fort Zumwalt’s annual revenue. This year, that’s $22.5 million toward services such as optimum class sizes, utilities and internet, or materials such as cleaning supplies or curriculum. Missouri school districts are funded through local taxes, state funding (which is allocated by the legislature and can be withheld by the governor to balance the state budget) and federal funding that typically is designated for specific expenditures or is one-time money.

Checking in at Early Childhood when new Assistant Superintendent, John Schulte, visited Amy Steinhoff's Pre-K class. Schulte oversees Student Personnel Services and sat with students as they shared an important part of their day when they check-in with each other in Steinhoff's room. The daily activities help students create bonds with each other through playful, one-on-one interactions. The variety promotes language and literacy skills, increases attention span and decreases power struggles.
"Our students and staff at the Early Childhood Center were having so much fun during our visit,” Schulte says. “We are fortunate to have such caring adults helping our littles learn, grow, and play!"
Helping our littlest learners strengthen communication skills and take their first steps toward being collaborators. The Fort Zumwalt Early Childhood Center: Where Children Learn Through Play!

It was a great day of learning across the Fort, where students were off but our #LifelongLearners were hard at work in Professional Development. Growing #FZSD teachers grows #FZSD students. Our teachers led colleagues in sessions ranging from English Language Arts to student wellness. Guest speakers were on hand to lead larger sessions, such as the one from Dr. Amber Selking on the power of a positive mindset. Commitment. Collaboration. #FZAllMeansAll @MOEducation @GovMikeParson @EducationPlusStl
