A group of students used their PBIS points to purchase a field trip to the Lumber River State Park in Orrum, NC. The students were able to hike the trails and see an abundance of wildlife and plant life. They also got to sit on the deck and enjoy the scenic views of the only blackwater river in the state.
The park rangers talked with the students about fire safety and then the students enjoyed a picnic lunch. Afterward, they wrapped up with a little playtime on the grassy area under the canopy of trees which included a few rounds of horseshoe.
We appreciate our Student Support Staff for providing this opportunity for our students. We also want to thank the park rangers for a remarkable day and the Youth-in-Parks Environmental Education (YIP-EE) Project for providing the funding to pay for our transportation.

National Beta Club is an academic honors program with a strong emphasis on community service. Their motto is "Let Us Lead by Serving Others."
Our Beta Club members participated in the Union Chapel Community's Make a Difference Day by spreading the message that Union Chapel Elementary School believes that all students should live a drug-free life and that no child ever deserves to be bullied. We appreciate these students for being visible, not only in our school but also in our community.

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.

We would like to thank Ms. Melecio for coming to our school and offering such encouraging words to our students.
