Old Union Elementary First Grade

Week of May 26

No School Monday, May 26.  Happy Memorial Day!

FAMILY LEGACY MISSIONS INTERNATIONAL invites you to participate in a SHOE DRIVE FOR ORPHANS to benefit the children of the Tree of Life Children’s Village in Zambia, Africa. Help us put shoes on the children’s feet by donating NEW or GENTLY USED running shoes or church shoes in children’s size 4 through adult size 10. Boxes have been placed around Old Union to collect the shoes. Thank you in advance for making a difference in the lives of these precious children. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Patty Gibson at patricia.gibson@southlakecarroll.edu.

Make sure all library books are turned in.

Does your first grader know how to tie his/her shoes?  If not, NOW is the time to learn!  Please make this a summer lesson.
