Countdown to Winter Break Spirit - Next week we will celebrate as we countdown to Winter Break. Please click here for more information.
PE with Coach Vetter-After Christmas break students in grades 3-5 will have the opportunity to participate in our roller skating unit. The cost to rent the skates is $12. Permission slips have been sent home and are due December 18th. If your child(ren) does not know how to tie their shoes, please work on this over winter break. This will allow them more time skating as they won't have to wait for help to tie their skates.
Morning Drop-Off - We wanted to remind families that students should not be dropped off before 7:40 am when the building opens. The weather is starting to turn colder, so please make sure your student is dressed appropriately for outside activities.
Toys for Tots-Unity West is an official drop off location for Toys for Tots. If you would like, you may drop off a new, unwrapped toy in the bins at Unity West.
T-Shirt Sponsors-The Unity West PTO is currently seeking sponsors for our schoolwide t-shirt. Every year, there is a t-shirt design contest among the students. The winning design is then put on a t-shirt for all students and staff to receive for free. The sponsorships allow us to provide the shirts. If you need more information, or would like to sponsor, please click here.
Counselor Corner - Please read the December Counselor Corner by Mrs. Cross.
