Unity East held our annual law enforcement drill this afternoon with our school resource officer. We practiced our emergency response plan, including lockdown and a building evacuation. Student safety is always a priority. Proud of our students and staff!

Unity East is looking forward to the Halloween fun planned for tomorrow, and we are glad to have many family and community members join us. Please review the details emailed out and posted on the website to help our day go smooth. After-school changes? Please contact the office.

Too much Halloween candy? The Unity FFA Chapter is partnering with Operation Gratitude to collect candy (and other small items) for troops overseas. We are accepting donations now through Nov. 5 at all Unit 7 schools. A complete list of items is posted on the school website.

Students at Unity East have spent the past several weeks learning what it means to practice respect by Being Ready. Congratulations to our students of character, who were chosen by their teachers and classmates for doing an excellent job demonstrating Respect!

On Wednesday afternoon, East is hosting our annual Halloween parade and classroom parties. Please notify the office in advance of after-school changes by calling 684-5218, emailing Mrs. Fitch at fitcht@unity.k12.il.us, or sending a note to school with your child.
