☀️ Summer Meals To-Go Update! ☀️

Tomorrow is Thursday, and that means it’s almost time for another round of meal pickups! Last week, our awesome food service team served 13,845 meals to 989 children! Wow!!!

We’re excited to do it all over again, with a few quick adjustments to help ease traffic congestion. This week, we’ll expand our pickup times to 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, providing an extra hour at both SES & UES.

Here’s what else you need to know for tomorrow:

📍 Sturgis Elementary (SES) - We're dividing pickups into two separate lines to keep things moving:

If picking up for 1–2 children: Enter the school lot through 10th Street.

If picking up for 3+ children: Enter through 12th Street (like last week).

Note: Both lanes will exit on Johnson Street. Staff and cones will be on-site to direct you! (See map below)

📍 Uniontown Elementary (UES) - Same pickup procedures as last week, just with the extra hour (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM)!

⚠️ Important Reminders:

Registration: To-go meals are only for families who pre-registered for these specific sites. Registration is now closed.

Leftovers: If you didn't sign up, you can come to either site slightly before 12:00 PM to see if there are leftover meals available.

Thank you all for your understanding and patience, and a huge thanks to our incredible Food Service team for making this possible! See you Thursday! 🥪🍎

Behind the Scenes at UCPS

While our students and staff enjoy a well-deserved summer break, an incredible team is hard at work preparing our schools for another great year. Our custodians—better known as our Customer Service Representatives (CSRs)—are going above and beyond to ensure every hallway, classroom, cafeteria, and gymnasium is clean, safe, and ready to welcome students back.

From stripping and waxing floors to deep cleaning classrooms, moving furniture, and tackling countless projects behind the scenes, their dedication and attention to detail help create an environment where learning can thrive.

These photos are just a glimpse of the hard work, pride, and commitment our CSRs bring to Union County Public Schools every day. Their efforts often go unseen, but their impact is felt throughout every building across our district.

Thank you to our UCPS CSRs for your commitment to excellence and for helping make our schools shine. We appreciate all that you do for our students, staff, and community.

Brave Nation is stronger because of you! ❤️💙

~Once a Brave, Always a Brave: Welcome Home, Mr. Baird~

Union County High School is excited to announce that Brave Alum, Darrick Baird, has accepted the position of Assistant Principal at UCHS.

Mr. Baird began his career in education as a Chemistry teacher at Madisonville North Hopkins High School and has spent the past 13 years serving students and educators in Hopkins County Schools. Most recently, he served as the Instructional Leader and Assessment Coordinator at North Hopkins.

Darrick and his wife, Wendy, live in Sturgis with their two children, Garrison, who will be starting 6th grade at UCMS, and Landry, who will be entering 4th grade at SES.

"Returning to Union County as Assistant Principal is both a professional honor and a personal privilege. As a Union County graduate, it is especially meaningful to have the chance to give back to the community and school system that played such an important role in my life. The lessons I have learned throughout my career have prepared me for this opportunity, and I look forward to serving our students, staff, and families for many years to come.”

We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Baird back home to Brave Nation!

I am incredibly honored and excited to announce that I will be joining the Uniontown Elementary family as the next principal.

I am a National Board Certified Teacher and have spent the past 12 years as a fifth grade teacher at Sturgis Elementary.

Family and community are at the heart of everything I do, and I look forward to building strong relationships within the Uniontown community.

I am excited for this new journey and cannot wait to meet the students, staff, and families that make Uniontown such a special place. I look forward to working together to create a positive, supportive, and successful environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.
