This is a reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow, May 3rd due to a teacher workday. We will see all students on Monday morning. Have a great weekend.

Since we will not be in school on Friday due to a teacher workday, help us celebrate this awesome group of ladies tomorrow. Friday is School Lunch Hero Day. Between preparing delicious food, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, these nutrition professionals have a lot on their plate. To celebrate their hard work and commitment, we want to thank these hardworking heroes for their dedication to fueling our students for success. You ladies rock! Our school is lucky to have you.

It is School Principals' Day. Show some love to our principal, Mr. Antonio Wilkins, for all he does for Union Chapel School. You are appreciated, Mr. Antonio.

Please share this information with any rising seventh grader who is interested in trying out for Pembroke Middle School's cheer team.

It takes a village to make a school an outstanding beacon in the community. We just can't thank our friendly neighbors like Mr. Glonnie Scott enough for all they do to make Union Chapel School look its best. Mr. Glonnie came out and smoothed our car pick-up gravel road. It looks so good and I know all who drive on it will be thankful. THANK YOU again, Mr. Glonnie, for volunteering your time and resources to get this part of our campus in tip-top shape! We appreciate you!

Enjoy more photos from this year's prom.

Our sixth grade students had a wonderful time at prom Friday night. They danced, and ate, and danced some more. Wonderful memories were made and we appreciate our staff members who helped make this a night to remember.

Enjoy more pictures of our students getting cool cuts!

I think we can all agree that nothing beats a fresh cut to make you feel (and look) better! Our sixth grade boys were treated to FREE haircuts in preparation for their prom. We want to thank barbers, Brandon "Droop" Oxendine and Steven Tubbs for volunteering their time and talents to help our boys look their best for their sixth grade dance. Both of these gentlemen are licensed barbers who enjoy sharing their talents. We cannot thank these men enough for helping our students feel special.

Bus 49, Mrs. Darlene Chavis' bus, is experiencing mechanical issues. If your child rides this bus, they will be picked up later than usual. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you.

It is Administrative Professionals Day. Help us recognize our bookkeeper, data manager, and payroll clerk, Mrs. Ciara Hunt, and our administrative assistant, Ms. Sonja Watson for the important roles they play in keeping our school running smoothly and efficiently. So much of what they do goes unnoticed because it happens behind the scenes, but we wouldn't be the wonderful school we are without them. Thank you Mrs. Ciara and Ms. Watson for all you do for Union Chapel School.
