Week of Oct. 15
·       On October 31st, Old Union will have Storybook Character Parade.  Children may come dressed as a character from a favorite book.  Please make sure your child brings the book as well.  No guns, swords or other scary stuff please… We will get to enjoy reading our books during readers’ workshop.  Parents are invited to the parade.  It will take place first thing in the morning outside by the playground.  If you’d like to send a change of clothes for your child, that will be fine.
