What a fantastic time we had at this year's Spring Fling!
The "Party Rock Anthem" theme brought so much energy and excitement, and our students danced the day away with their friends, making memories to last a lifetime! The event was full of sunshine and beautiful skies, fun, laughter, and school spirit that truly showcased the amazing sense of community we have here.
This year's Spring Fling was dedicated in memory of Jayden and Isabelle Morones, two students we lost earlier in the year.
We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported this event and all of our school activities throughout the year. Your dedication and enthusiasm help make these events possible, and we’re so grateful for the continued support of our wonderful school community!
Here's to many more moments of joy and celebration!

IMPORTANT SPRING FLING INFORMATION!!!
We are excited about our annual Spring Fling tomorrow, April 4th, starting at 9:30 a.m. So that we will be able to provide our students with a fun and safe event, please pay close attention to the following details:
* Parking and Seating: Spring Fling will be on the grassy area adjacent to our playground at the back of the campus. Seating will not be provided, so please bring a chair if you wish to sit during the program. We will start parking cars near the performance area. Because parking is limited on campus, you are encouraged to park at Archie Oxendine Park or Union Chapel Holiness Methodist Church. At the church’s request, please do not park on the grass at the church, and due to safety reasons, please do not park along Evergreen Church Road or Union Chapel Road.
* Attire: If your child bought a Spring Fling t-shirt, please allow them to wear it with denim bottoms (jeans, shorts, or a skirt) and sneakers.
* Monitoring Attendance of Students & Visitors: If your child is riding to school with you tomorrow, they must report to their classroom to be marked present. All students who do not report to their homeroom class will be marked absent. If your child has opted out of performing and still comes to school, they must stay with their homeroom class. All students must stay with their teacher until the entire program is complete. If you bring a child with you who does not attend Union Chapel School and is not at least 18 years of age, that child must stay with you at all times. They are not allowed to roam the campus.
* Dismissal: Once the program ends, all students should return their chairs to the classroom before leaving school with a parent or guardian. If your child is going home with you after the program, please go to their classroom and sign them out with the teacher. You do not need to go to the office to sign out your child.
* Substance Policy: As always, our campus is tobacco, alcohol, and drug-free. This includes e-cigarettes.
It will take all of us working together to ensure that our Spring Fling is a success. Thank you.
A Memorial Garden for Jayden & Isabella Morones
Our sixth-grade students honored the memory of their dear classmate, Jayden Morones, and his sister, first grader, Isabella Morones, who tragically passed away earlier this year. Together, the students started a beautiful memorial garden at school to keep their spirits alive in our hearts and remind us of their bright smiles and kind souls.
Although this is an ongoing project, this garden will forever serve as a symbol of love, unity, and remembrance for both Jayden and Isabella, and it’s a special place where we can come together as a school community to reflect, celebrate their lives, and find comfort in nature's beauty.
Thank you to our incredible first and sixth grade students, and the first and sixth grade staff that spearheaded this project for creating such a thoughtful and lasting tribute. Our hearts continue to be with the Morones family.
Spring Fling Prep: A Huge Thank You to Our Fourth Graders!
Clean up, children; we've got company coming over!
Our fourth-grade students have been hard at work cleaning up the playground and the grassy area behind the school in preparation for this Friday's Spring Fling event! From picking up litter to tidying up the space, they’ve truly gone above and beyond to make sure our school grounds are looking their best.
A big thank you to these amazing students and their teachers for making this event extra special! We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on Friday.
Exploring Newton's First Law of Motion - Inertia!
Ms. Kim McNeill's fifth-grade class had an exciting hands-on experience today as they dove into the world of physics with experiments focused on Inertia! 🧑🔬💡
The students observed how objects stay in motion (or at rest) unless acted upon by an outside force, and had fun testing this fundamental concept with a variety of cool activities. From rolling objects to pulling cards from under cups, they were able to see Newton's First Law in action!
Check out the awesome pictures from our classroom experiments! The future scientists of tomorrow are hard at work today!

Today is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day.
Paraprofessionals, or teacher assistants, do a little of everything in our school. They support classes, are assigned to specific students in special education, help with substituting and supervising students, and support the general running of the school.
Paraprofessional Appreciation Day is a chance to put these workers in the spotlight and recognize the dedication they bring to our students each day. So help us in recognizing and celebrating our teacher assistants today.
