This message is for the parents of students who ride bus 76. The bus has broken down and will be delayed dropping off all students. Please bear with us as we get this situation taken care of.

We want to remind our families that there will be NO SCHOOL next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday due to Thanksgiving. Take this time to show thanks for your many blessings. There is always something for which to be thankful!
The Beta Club Food Drive ends tomorrow. If you have already sent in non-perishable food items...THANK YOU! If you have not, please send in items that will be donated to families in need this holiday season. This is a good opportunity to talk with your child about those in our community who may be facing hunger and food insecurity.
Starting tomorrow, chips and ice cream will be sold every day in the cafeteria. Chips are $0.75 and ice cream is $1.00. Please send money if you would like for your child to enjoy these treats. As always, you can send money to put on your child's account. Thank you.

Today we Rocked Our Mocs at Union Chapel Elementary School. Rock Your Mocs Day was started in 2010 as an opportunity for Native peoples across the country to express solidarity and embrace their identities by wearing moccasins. Thank you to all who participated.
In celebration of National Native American Heritage Month, we want to highlight our Youth Development Specialist, Mrs. Cathy Revels.
