from the Union Seniors...
This is several weeks late, but I cannot let another E News go by without personally thanking Johnny Carter for the Scream Concert to benefit our mission trip to Haiti. This concert raised over $1500 towards our trip! Thank you also to the parents who worked the night with us (a SPECIAL thank you to Steve and Tami Scott who provided Blazen Burrito, and to Charlotte Thomas who helped in coordinating the event). The musicians were just outstanding, and gave their time, talent, and heart for missions as they sacrificially donated it all for Haiti.
It goes without saying, Johnny Carter is a man Union cannot do without. As he drives our mission team to the Tulsa airport (at 1:30 in the morning!) March 11th, and returns for us late Sunday night the 18th, we want to say THANK YOU, Johnny. We love you.

Presidential Tea Party
by Union 4th Grade
 4th Grade students and teachers at Union Elementary put together a Presidential Tea Party, filling an evening with memories for a lifetime. Launching the evening with Presidential Hall of Fame Tours through the Presidential Museum, guests experienced a variety of presentation mediums. A Wax Museum of Presidents and First Ladies came to life to share their historical significance with the press of a button for the evening's guests, Presidential fact QR codes could be scanned with smart phones, life size and accurately measured artworks were displayed of student's chosen Presidents and First Ladies, research reports, creative stories based in fact from the Presidents' and First Ladies' perspectives, and fact handouts gave the evening a fun filled, intellectual night chalked full of depth and complexity. Concluding the evening, students and parents played Presidential facts related games, and this video was used for one such game.

This special evening was truly a delight for all!
