We are excited to welcome back The Children’s Science Lab and Mathnasium as part of our annual Math and Science Night at Union Mill! This fun evening is made possible with the help of volunteers, and we’re looking for adults (ages 16 and up—great opportunity for service hours!) to help run engaging math and science stations.
No prep is required—all materials will be provided! We simply ask that volunteers commit to the full evening, including setup and cleanup, from 5:15–7:45 PM.
If you’d like to join the fun and support this exciting event, please use the link below to sign up for a station!

🥏 Big shoutout to Mr. Cook, our very own former collegiate Ultimate Frisbee player and 6th grade teacher! He’s bringing his passion for the game to UMES, teaching our 6th graders not only the rules of a new sport, but also the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and having fun while staying active. 💪👏

Way to inspire our students, Mr. Cook! 🙌

🫀💪 Our 6th graders are learning life-saving skills in PE! Today, they practiced CPR and discussed the importance of being prepared to help in an emergency. So proud of these students for taking on such an important responsibility! 👏

✨Our kindergarteners are busy little learners! ✨
Today they worked in literacy centers—practicing letters and sounds while having fun with friends. 💡📚 Watching their excitement as they build early reading skills is the best part of our day! 🌟
