Fort Zumwalt School District

Checking in at FZW! Volunteerism is a big part of the work done in Leadership classes at all Fort Zumwalt high schools. FZW’s Lee Hardy has built a strong connection with the City of O’Fallon to provide students an avenue to explore volunteer opportunities and to help the city with beautification work and other projects. Megan Piel visited this week to kick things off with the new class, starting with swag and snacks. #FZCommunity
