IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR BUS 49 FAMILIES: Tomorrow, October 6th, Bus 49, Mrs. Darlene Chavis' bus, will be a second load in the morning and afternoon. Please make the necessary arrangements for this change. If your child rides this bus and their grandparents are meeting them for breakfast tomorrow, please let them know that there may be a delay. Thank you.

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow, we will be hosting our Grandparents' Breakfast from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. We encourage you to invite your child's grandparents to join them for breakfast and then visit our Scholastic Book Fair in the school library. If your child's grandparents are planning to come to school, kindly advise them to check in at the front office, inform the secretary of their meeting, and wait for their grandchild to arrive. In the event that the grandparents are bringing the child to school, they should proceed directly to the cafeteria. We value and appreciate the support of our amazing grandparents and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Please mark your calendar for our half-day teacher workday next Wednesday, October 11th. School will be dismissed at 11:30 a.m. Please make the necessary arrangements for your child. Thank you.

Happy World Teacher’s Day! Union Chapel thanks its teachers for the tireless effort they put into making sure our students are successful; both in academics and in life. “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” —Henry Brook Adams

We are excited to share the results of the Spirit Riders 10th Annual Back to School Ride held in August. Each year the Spirit Riders select a school to be the recipient of their annual bike run, and this year Union Chapel was blessed to be chosen for this honor. After the profits from the bike run, auction, and donations were tallied, the Spirit Riders presented Union Chapel Elementary School with a check for $15, 910! The success of this event would have never been possible without the hard work and support of the Union Chapel faculty and staff, the Union Chapel community, the bikers who participated, and the Spirit Riders organization. We are eager to use these funds for the betterment of the students at Union Chapel Elementary School. Thank you to everyone who had a part in this event's success. Union Chapel Tigers . . . ROARing Our Way to Success! First Photo: Members of the Spirit Riders present the check for $15,910.
