Nancy Heege, Obama School Ministry Team

Our team of volunteers is currently involved in planning for Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week at Barack and Michelle Obama Elementary School, May 2–6. Working closely with the Assistant Principal, we’ve settled on a theme (We Think the World of You), decided on decorations, created some small gifts for mailboxes, ordered empanadas for a special meal, and are hoping for good weather for an ice cream celebration after school on Friday. Almost twenty Unity Church members are involved! We are happy to do this for the teachers and staff who have worked so hard for the scholars this year!
​
Some of you may remember contributing to a Sunday offering that went to Walker West Music Academy, located just a few blocks from Unity Church on Selby Avenue. One of their teaching artists was the featured presenter for seven weeks of lessons on The Art of Hip Hop for fifth graders at Obama School. An enriching experience for all!

Looking ahead to next year: 2023 will be the 100th anniversary of the original school building that now houses Obama School. The school will be closing for renovation in June of 2023, and the staff has asked for our help in organizing the celebration of this special anniversary. We know there are some Unity Church families whose children attended the school back when it was named Webster Magnet School, and we hope to involve you in the celebration. Start looking for your old yearbooks and other memorabilia!
