A Message from the Principal
Welcome to Sion Grade School!
Sion Grade School for Boys and Girls is a place where understanding and belonging permeate. From our youngest two year old Petite children to our oldest, eighth grade Middle Schoolers, our student-centered faculty create learning experiences that spark curiosity, tap student strengths and potential, stretch their thinking, broaden their lens, and encounter the resonating joy of a Sion education.
We are committed to preparing students for a fast, ever-changing and complex world. Grounded in a commitment to constructive dialogue, our students learn and practice listening to understand and working together to find solutions. Step into a kindergarten classroom and you will hear five and six-year-olds sharing their scientific observations and describing what plants and animals need to survive. Stop by a third grade art classroom and watch students providing peers with helpful critiques and feedback, and students using that feedback to revise their artwork. Head to a fifth grade CARE classroom, and glimpse students practicing how to resolve conflicts peacefully or practicing advocacy skills for themselves and others. Move to a seventh grade Holy Ground classroom and witness students discussing respect for all faiths and dialoguing with people whose beliefs and experiences differ from their own.
Blessed with a highly involved, culturally diverse and inclusive community, Sion Grade School students and families enjoy a wide range of activities from a spirited Fall Festival to music programs, Grand-friends Day, Heritage Festival, Scripps Spelling Bee, and Battle of the Books. Located in Midtown, Sion Grade School partners with the city’s performing arts including the Kansas City Ballet and the Lyric Opera, as well as the Kemper and Nelson art museums to provide rich, art-infused learning experiences.
I am privileged to serve as Principal of this remarkable school, and I take my lead from the students who approach their learning with curiosity, energy, connection, hope, love and respect.
