Obama School Ministry Team

Integrity, Service, and Joy at Obama School
From Marty Rossmann, Obama School Ministry Team

The Barack and Michelle Obama Elementary School is across the street from Unity Church. Unity members are invited to volunteer at Obama. The greatest need is to support scholars (what students are called) in math, writing, and reading. This requires as little as one hour, once a week. 

There are many other ways to be involved that call for less commitment: The librarian wants help with books, refreshments are needed once a month for a staff meeting, Family Nights can use extra hands once a month, and cccasional Book Fairs also need support. Finally, you may want to join the “Friends of Obama School - FOOS” and contribute to the $20 Cub Foods gift cards given each month to 75 Obama Families who have signed up because their family could use help to cover their food purchases. 

The Obama School Outreach Ministry Team members are: Nancy Heege, Beverly Heydinger, David Smith, and Marty Rossmann. Email rossm001@umn.edu with questions or to sign up. Obama School is a one of the good places to experience Unity’s values of integrity, service, and joy! 

Unity Church partners with the Barack & Michelle Obama Elementary School in a variety of ways. The team recruits and provides tutors, library volunteers, teacher appreciation events, art support, and more. The team also organizes the Friends of Obama School Cub Foods gift card program.
