Two years later, the Board of Directors introduces a plan to expand the elementary wing once again. The next month, a local Christian school closes, resulting in a spike in enrollment for Zion. The need for more space is suddenly very evident. Per Zion\u2019s policy, the team cannot break ground until the funds are available to complete the project. Zion breaks ground on the new elementary wing in November 2014. Due to funds, the plan is to finish one classroom, the shell of four more, and a set of restrooms. However, with God\u2019s abundant blessings, Zion is able to finish all five classrooms, restrooms, regrade and install a new playground, and install a new set of restrooms for the
