Career Day Fun! Today our students showed up dressed as their future selves — police officers, chefs, cowboys, nurses, firefighters, artists, athletes, and more! It was inspiring to see their creativity and big dreams on full display. Swipe through to see the amazing costumes and the bright futures ahead!

News flash! Let me introduce you to Jada L. Jada is a first grade student here at Union Chapel Elementary School. Here are some fun facts about Jada: * She likes to do crafty things like making jewelry. (I see an Etsy shop in Jada's future. ) * Her favorite animal is a cat. (Meow!) * Her favorite color is blue. (Carolina or Duke?) * Her favorite food is a hamburger. (All the way, please.) * She wants to work with animals when she grows up. (Animals are such agreeable friends, Jada.) Ms. Tina Locklear, Jada's teacher assistant, said, "Jada always has a positive attitude and tries her best on all of her assignments." What a great compliment! Jada is featured on our Facebook page because she purchased this certificate in our PBIS Store. If your child would like to receive a shout-out on our social media pages, they can buy this opportunity using their PBIS points. We love highlighting our wonderful students.

We are excited to announce our Students of the Month for March. These students were chosen by their teachers to represent their class based on exhibiting outstanding behavior. Congratulations to them all! If your child received a Tiger yard sign to proudly display for the month, please send in their picture so they can be recognized online.

Reminder: Career Day is Tomorrow! We’re excited to see our students dream big and dress up as their future career goals tomorrow! Whether they want to be doctors, teachers, engineers, artists, chefs, or astronauts—this is their time to shine! Families, thank you for supporting your students as they explore their ambitions. We can’t wait to celebrate all the amazing futures ahead! Don’t forget: Career Day is TOMORROW!

We’re so proud of their dedication and growth, and it was egg-citing to celebrate their success with some springtime fun!
