Welcome to 2024! As we settle into this new year, I'm excited to share with you this upcoming series called Union Family Quarter.
Born out of a collective effort to listen to what parents and our Union community need, this series is designed to encourage and support us as we build hope, strength and resiliency together. This "winter quarter" of education will cover a variety of important and relevant topics that we hope will create conversation and connection within our community and beyond. Some topics will be more applicable to your situation than others, so you can use this series as a menu to engage with what resonates with you,
