Professional Development takes many shapes in Fort Zumwalt, but today it was something new. Custodians are taking advantage of Spring Break to complete projects they might not be able to when class is in session. Director of Custodial Services Dewayne Adams saw the opportunity to get his team, usually spread across our 31 facilities, together in one place for the first time. The team went through safety refreshers and equipment updates before lunch, provided by ProTeam Commercial Vacuums. And Adams recognized several heroes who have gone above and beyond to maintain safe, healthy learning environments for students and staff. #FZEquipToExcel

Thanks to all who came out for our Soup's On! event. Twice each year we host residents 55 and older for lunch and updates from around the district. This time Heather Kreger, K-5 Math Coordinator, broke down classroom strategies that help students understand how numbers relate to each other. You can find next year's dates on our website calendar. Just click "See All Events" and then search "Soup"!
