Ohio has 611 public school districts, over 3500 public schools and Union Elementary was only one of 14 chosen for this award highlighting exceptional academic excellence and strong student outcomes. It's a big deal for our students and staff so celebrate with us!
Parents & Guardians please wear blue at our Open House!! I want the students to be surprised when they see everyone there celebrating with them. Thank you for making this day special for them. They have worked so hard this year. Thank you for letting us teach them this school year.
