📚✨ Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Union Chapel Elementary next week! ✨📚
This is a wonderful chance to connect with your child through the joy of choosing and bringing home new books. Research shows that children read more when they select their own books—and building a love for independent reading can boost academic success, confidence, and even mental well-being.
📅 Dates: Monday, September 22nd – Thursday, September 25th
📍 Location: School Media Center
💳 Don’t forget to set up your student’s Scholastic eWallet for cash-free, stress-free shopping! Family and friends can also add funds. Create an account here:
👉 Scholastic eWallet
THANK YOU for supporting our book fair—we can’t wait to see you there!

Before today’s sixth-grade graduation ceremony, our students came together to honor and remember their beloved classmate, Jayden Morones Hernandez, with a touching balloon release.
In a beautiful gesture of love and remembrance, they also saved a seat for Jayden during the program, a powerful reminder that though he is no longer with us, he will never be forgotten.
As these students move on from Union Chapel Elementary, they do so with a bond that will remain unbroken. Today’s ceremony was not just a celebration of achievement, but also a tribute to friendship, love, and the strength of this remarkable class.
