Good evening Union Chapel Family! As we begin another wonderful week at school, we want to make you aware that it is National School Counselor Appreciation Week. We want to show some love to our school counselor, Mrs. Cindy Chavis. Mrs. Cindy is a leader and advocate for the students at Union Chapel and she works hard to ensure that all of our students are treated fairly and have access to all they need to be successful in school and life.

Good evening, Union Chapel Family! As today begins our winter vacation, let me take the opportunity to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season that is filled with joy, happiness, and peace. Use this as an opportunity to focus on the true reason for the season. Merry Christmas!

Pictured are sixth grade students who made Christmas cards to send to Army soldiers stationed in Munich, Germany during the holidays. ELA teacher, Wesley Jacobs, thought of the idea when he learned that his student, Adrien Cummings' dad, Jamie, is currently serving in Germany and will not be able to come home for Christmas. We appreciate our students and their teachers for showing compassion during this holiday season.
