Obama School Ministry Team
Because of You
Nancy Heege, Unity's Obama School Ministry Team
Because of the great response from members and friends of Unity Church, we’re doing more than ever before to support the scholars, teachers, and staff of Barack and Michelle Obama Elementary School across the street from the church. The school motto, “Give Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day” includes a commitment to the whole community being necessary to educate children. We benefit from having a strong school in our community, developing strong leaders.
On August 26, Unity Church hosted the teachers’ day-long meeting, serving coffee and muffins in the morning and a make-it-yourself sandwich and salad lunch. And some of you contributed dozens of cookies and juice boxes as hospitality and welcome for the school’s August 29 open house for families. Thank you!
This fall, forty-seven Unity volunteers will be working with scholars on math and reading or enrichment programs, or working in the library to be sure books are ready to be checked out by scholars. Some will be providing snacks to teachers at a monthly after-school staff meeting. Some will be working at the book fairs in the fall and spring. This is an all-time high in number of volunteers, and it’s great to have so many friendly adult faces encouraging and assisting the Pre-K through 5th grade scholars in learning! Thank you!
Because of you, we’re in the third year of our Friends of Obama School program, purchasing Cub Food gift cards to be given out to support families at the school. In the past two years, due to your generosity, we’ve raised more than $20,000 for food assistance. Please contribute again this fall by sending a check for $100, or whatever you want to give, made out to Unity Church, with “Friends of Obama School” in the memo line. Or make your contribution online at https://secure.acceptiva.com/?cst=1aadb6 and selecting “other payment” at the bottom of the page. Then be sure to put “Friends of Obama School” in the comments section, so your donation reaches this fund. Thank you to all past and future donors!
On Sunday, September 8, the Sunday worship offering will be designated for Obama School. The money collected will be given to the school’s Sunshine Fund, which supports field trips and other school activities. It’s another way we, at Unity Church, support the great work the school is doing for the scholars! Thank you!
Thanks to you and others like you, we’re putting into action Unity’s stated values and enhancing the educational experience of the Barack and Michelle Obama Elementary School children.
