Hello UC families! It is hard to believe

that fall is only few days away. We hope

everyone had a great back-to-school

experience and you have already gotten

into a good routine.

We appreciate all parents and business

owners who joined us at back-to-school

night and became PTA members. Your

generous donations allow PTA to

provide educational enrichment

activities programs for UC children.

Your Union Chapel PTA Board of

Directors has been working diligently

to plan some fun events this fall and

invite everyone to join in and be a part

of our school community.
