By Kallee Feuz, Zions Bank
CEDAR CITY, Utah; December 6, 2024 — First-grade students from Enoch Elementary School shared in a long-held community tradition, creating handmade ornaments for the Christmas tree at Zions Bank in Cedar City. In return, branch manager Josh Hunt Zions Bank presented a $100 contribution to the school.
The decorated tree will be on display in the bank’s lobby through the holidays.
“We cherish this annual tradition because it gets us into the holiday spirit,” Hunt said. “We’re proud to support Enoch Elementary through our donation.”
Across Utah and Idaho, more than 3,000 elementary school students are taking part in “Lights On” events by making festive decorations to deck the halls of their local Zions Bank lobbies. Zions Bank has been inviting students to participate in this tree-trimming tradition for 52 years.
This year, more than 50 elementary schools are participating in Zions Bank’s “Lights On” holiday celebrations. Additionally, several Zions Bank branches have invited students from special-needs classes and Title 1 schools to decorate the trees in their lobbies.
