Today our students were treated to a guest speaker, Ms. Mari Melecio, the owner of several Melecio's Mexican Restaurants located throughout Robeson County and North Carolina. Ms. Mari gave an inspirational speech to the students and staff about her journey to America; from speaking no English to working her way up to become the successful businesswoman she is today. We would like to thank Ms. Melecio for coming to our school and offering such encouraging words to our students.

Today for Indigenous Peoples Day, we wore Indigenous Peoples attire or orange t-shirts. Why orange? Of course orange is the favorite color of the Union Chapel Tigers, but it has become the color associated with starting discussions about issues important in Indigenous communities, such as the ill-fated history of residential schools. We love orange because it symbolizes sunshine, truth-telling, health, regeneration, strength, and power. Today, wearing our Indigenous attire and the color orange paid tribute to the strength and beauty of Indigenous cultures. We appreciate everyone who participated.
Say CHEESE! Fall Picture Day is next Monday, October 16th. Information is being sent home with all students today detailing the picture taking and buying process. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the school.

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.
