SCOOP stands for "Student and Community Opportunities with Our Paper." The program is an excellent way for student and community organizations to raise funds and receive promotional space in the Times Record. The program is part of
the newspaper's continued commitment to involvement with area schools and communities.
When you renew your Times Record subscription by filling out the "Scoops" form and designating Union Christian Academy as the school you support, Union will receive $25 for every annual subscription/renewal. Union will receive $10 for every six month subscription/renewal. Forms are available in both campus offices and at the "U" desk on secondary campus. | |

Colonial Market
3rd grade students displaying items from their studies of colonial and Native American life in the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies during the 1600s.
On Tuesday, December 6, the combined third grade classes of Mrs. Polhemus and Mrs. Kelly presented a Colonial Market to their families. The classes had been studying the way of life of colonists and native Americans in the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies in the 1600s. Students displayed candles, tools, food, weaving, nets, and other items from their study. Visitors were encouraged to take the name of a Mayflower passenger to begin the evening and then discover their fate at the program's close. The students presented a Readers Theater of the Plymouth Colony to end the evening.
