Our students went on an unforgettable adventure to Peru!

From the streets of Cuzco and the ruins of Pisac to artisan workshops, mountain weaving demonstrations, the Mara Salt Ponds, and the breathtaking wonder of Machu Picchu, this trip was packed with once-in-a-lifetime learning.

We are so proud of our students as they explore a new culture and represent Zeeland!

Once a Creekside spelling bee champ, now a spelling bee coordinator, pronouncer, and fifth grade teacher in Los Angeles! Check out our alumni spotlight on Jami Gezon!

She’s been REALLY busy giving kids in LA the same experiences she had in Zeeland, including after school sports, camping trips, and holiday celebrations!

Her advice to today’s students: say yes, get involved, try new things, and thank the teachers and coaches who help you grow.
