THE STORY OF ZEE

The much anticipated " Story of Zee " children's book was unveiled today,

Wednesday, April 1st.

Tappan Zee Athletics along with the Tappan Zee Elementary and Cottage Lane

administration has teamed up with The Blauvelt Lions Club, The SOCSD

Education Foundation, The SOS Club and SOCES PTA to introduce TZ's mascot,

Zee's very first children's book!

TZE & CLE held a contest last fall asking children to submit their version

of the story of Zee. Over 125 submissions were collected. In the end,

stories by Sky (CLE) and Ava (TZE) were combined to create " The Story of

Zee " .

The book also includes a poem about Zee by CLE student .

Professional Illustrator, Marc of Richmond, VT then took the story

and put his illustrators touch to create a special volume that is destined

to become a SOCSD classic.
