LOGAN — Dozens of fifth-grade students from Ellis Elementary School helped bring in the Christmas spirit at the Logan Pioneer branch of Zions Bank on Tuesday. They participated in the annual “Lights On” event at the bank, a 50-year tradition shared by 54 other schools throughout Utah and Idaho.

Approximately 70 students from the school visited the bank to decorate a tree in the lobby with homemade ornaments and decorations. The students also performed holiday carols with teachers, parents and bank employees. For their efforts, the bank made a $100 contribution to the school.

“While this holiday tradition spans a half-century, our commitment to our communities goes back to our founding in 1873,” said Mallori Cutlip, manager at Zions Bank’s Logan branch, in a statement. “It’s a great way for us to give to our local schools as a thank-you for their festive ornaments.”

The public is invited to visit the branch and see the decorated tree on display through the holidays.

In addition, a number of Zions branches have invited students from special-needs classes and Title 1 schools to decorate the trees in their lobbies. Zions Bank has been inviting students to participate in this annual holiday event for 50 years.
