A lot of our students came together to make an American Flag out of their hands. Each student that participated had to trace their hand and then they wrote a veteran's name and they knew on their hand. This American Flag was made to thank all the veterans in these students lives and the many others out there in community for their service. The flag is hung at the entrance near the the office. Mrs. Anita Spires came up with the idea and facilitated the project during lunch over the course of several days.

Zane Trace was represented well tonight at the All-SVC Fall Sports Banquet for golf, football, and volleyball. Congrats to all of our All-SVC athletes!
