Countdown to Kindergarten: UCPS provides well-rounded educational experience for its youngest students

Kindergarten is an exciting moment in time for young students and their families. It’s one of the first steps a child takes in their educational journey and it sets the foundation for developing independence, confidence and positive behavior both in and out of the classroom. That’s why, from the first bell in the morning to the last bell of the school day, UCPS kindergartners are fully engaged in developing new skills and a love for learning that will set them up for success in college, career and life.

12 Gifts of Kindness

Marvin elementary students showed kindness by completing the '12 Gift of Kindness' challenge. Each day leading up to winter break students were challenged to show kindness to one another in a variety of ways, such as helping a friend or saying thank you to a school staff member.

Canned Food Drive

Marvin elementary student council organized a succesful canned food drive. Our generous families donated 1,813 food items which were collected and sent to the Union County Christmas Bureau for distribution to families in need. Thank you to everyone for your generosity.
