School Is In Session
The scholars are back in school, and school buses are rolling right along at Barack and Michelle Elementary School, across the street from the church. The annual “first day” staff lunch was held in Unity's Parish Hall on August 29, with Dick Buggs, Ray Wiedmeyer, and Karen Abraham serving up a delicious salad lunch. The teachers were so grateful and happy to be starting back. Christine Sarkes, Marty Rossmann, and Nancy Heege provided snacks to help welcome scholars and families back during the Open House on September 1. Enthusiasm was high among families and staff.
And thanks to all who contributed generously to the offering on Sunday, September 18, that benefitted the school. The school appreciates the ongoing support of Unity families.
We are still in need of a few people to bring snacks for monthly staff meetings. Contact Diane Grasse at dianegrasse@gmail.com to be added to the team of snack providers, who will be called on occasionally through the year. Because there’s no interaction with scholars, this task doesn’t require a background check.
Calling all former students of Saint Paul’s Webster Magnet School (now Barack and Michelle Obama School) and family members! As you may have heard, this will be the last year of the school building as it’s currently configured. Beginning next June, the school will close for two years of renovation and transition to a new school, still bearing the Obama name. In the meantime, this year is also the 100th anniversary of the school building, and plans are underway to celebrate its 100 years. We’d like you to be in on the celebrations! If you or members of your family were students at Webster, please contact Nancy Heege at nancyheege672@gmail.com so we can keep you informed about opportunities, including an open house for alumni and friends next spring.
