Union 6th Grade Center

Congratulations to our students who received awards at our annual end of year Awards Ceremony.

Union sixth graders, who were rewarded with Super SOAR recognition for the first three quarters of the school year, enjoyed time at Sky Zone today. More sixth graders will visit Sky Zone Wednesday.

As a part of Teacher Appreciation Week each of our teams received awards from Principal Ward for the strength they bring to U6. We know Together We make the Difference!

Congratulations to our Hope Award winners for May: our not so newbies any more who have stepped in and became a part of the U6 family this year and the amazing ELA teacher, Jerica Wilson.

We are so thankful for our PTSA who is making sure our teachers feel the love and appreciation this week. On Taco Tuesday, all staff were treated to a catered meal of yummy Mexican food. Today many staff members will walk away with some very nice prizes. They also gifted Mrs. Ward a tote and shirt for Principal’s Day. Their support truly is priceless.

Congrats to Mrs. Turner for being recognized with the Light Award, nominated by students. Some of the amazing ways students described her were: funny, kind, sweet, fun and always makes them feel safe! Congrats…you are always a LIGHT for all of us .

6th Grade State testing begins next Wednesday and Thursday. Free breakfast will be available for all students on testing dates. It's very important for students to arrive on time during these days.

⭐We're excited to celebrate the academic and behavioral achievements of our 6th graders. The following students achieved 3nd quarter SOAR. To achieve SOAR status, students need to meet the following criteria: earn A's and B's in all their classes, maintain positive behavior with no incidents, and have no more than 4 full-day absences. Let's help work together to help our 6th graders SOAR! 🚀
