Things have been buzzing at Union Mill with the end of the year quickly approaching. Check out some of the photos below from Mrs. Duncan's class receiving a visit from our in house bee keepers. We are also proud of our kindergarteners who put on an amazing performance last week during their "Celebrate America" performance. 

If you are looking for some entertainment this evening, we will be hosting our strings concert at 7:00 pm. In addition, students in grades K-6 will have the opportunity to see 4th - 6th grade students perform during the day.

PE Field Hockey 

Students in 4th through 6th grade had the opportunity to try field hockey in PE classes.  Centreville High School's Coach Van Trees along with several of her players taught our students how to hold the stick, dribble, pass, and shoot.  They also worked on quickness and agility.   We appreciate our guests for taking time out of their schedules and working with our students. If your child is interested, Centreville HS is holding a field hockey camp from July 15-19.  More information will be coming out.
