Unionville Elementary Newsletter: February 2017 Edition

The Arrow

The Unionville Spring Carnival planning is underway, and we need

your help! The carnival is Unionville's biggest community event and

largest fundraiser of the year. The PTO committees have been busy,

organizing the games, collecting donations for the raffle, planning

silent auction baskets and finding fun prizes.

We are looking for someone to organize the popular Cupcake

Walk. This would involve collecting the cupcakes, asking for

cupcake donations and packaging them (along with others) the

day before or day of the carnival.

Also, if you own a business or know of a business that would like to

donate something to the raffle please let us know! Contact the PTO

at ptounionville@gmail.com

Our next meeting is on March 9th and we will continue to plan for

this event. Come share your ideas and hear what is new! Our April

13th meeting will be an active working meeting and we can always

use extra hands. At this meeting we will be repairing any games,

possibly making a new game and more. This meeting is always a fun

way for Unionville parents to spend time together while completing

the necessary jobs for this event.

Our Girl Scout and Brownie troops participated

and competed in the local Girl Scout Thinking

Day event. Both troops prepared great booths

about the Netherlands. Our Unionville Daisy

Troop won 2nd place. Nice!

Congrats, Girl Scouts!

G We had a fabulous bus driver appreciation

breakfast last month. We are so fortunate to

have such caring and conscious drivers. Please

take a moment to say “Thank you.”

Thank You Bus Drivers

We are so proud of our super speller Sonia

Butske! Sonia won our school spelling bee and

went on to compete in the county spelling

bee. It was a tough competition and Sonia

represented us well in both spelling skills, school

spirit (she wore her Unionville t-shirt), and

sportsmanship.

Our Super Speller: Sonia!

At Grandview, we follow the GRRRs. We are Respectful, Responsible, and Ready.

Blue is Coming!

The Indianapolis Colts’ mascot, Blue, is

coming to Unionville Elementary School.

Blue travels around to schools in Indiana

spreading his positive energy. It will be a

great “Welcome Back” treat after spring

break.

Families can come anytime between 5:30-8:30pm.

Parents are welcome to play. Or, if laser lite is not for you, there is no cost to just watch.

from this night back to our school. Look for flyer coming home soon about this night
