to perform Thursday night for Delta
Kappa Gamma at 5:30.

Union Academy receives $17,000 Grant!
The Arkansas Department of Education called
to say that we have been awarded the
Arkansas Child Wellness Intervention Project Grant!!
This grant will provide us with SPARKS curriculum
and the required equipment and training to give our
students 120 minutes of physical and health education
weekly.
On March 11, the governor and his wife will present
us with our check at the State Capitol!

"Gambler"
Mrs. Susan Delone has become a "Friend of Union"
by donating and delivering a round bale of hay
per month for 6 months in honor of her beautiful
friend, "Gambler." Gambler was 30 years old when
he died in early October. He was her buddy for
18 years! In his younger years, Gambler was a
barrel racer, then a lesson horse for children and
finally just a great guy to take out on trail. He had
a gentle spirit and loved people. Thank you so much,
Gambler!
We now have 3 fish, 3 horses, 1 mini donkey, 1 mini horse,
5 pygmy goats, 2 sheep, 1 mini dutch rabbit, 1 mini lion-head rabbit,
a red-earred turtle, 1 chinchilla, and a pot-belly pig who will be
having babies next mont..
Munchies with Moms was a HUGE success!
**********************************************************
The Grand Opening for Union's Fitness Center
and Movie Theater has been postponed until
later notice. We are still trying to get all the
equipment moved and the sound system installed.
Union's Fitness Center will be free for our students
and their immediate families (this includes
grandparents)! Patrons and Friends of
Union Academy who donate their time and/or
resources will also have free membership. (This
could include something as simple as listening
to a child read on a regular basis.) If
you have a K-6 child, he or she must be enrolled
in Union Academy for access.
*************************************************************
When you see our superintendent, Bob Watson,
please thank him and our school board
for supporting us in our efforts.
They are on board with all of the
wonderful changes we are making at
Union Academy.
We are bringing the community
back to our school!

Taco, Dottie, & Bangles love watching our
kids during recess.
That's "The End" of our pictures
