Library Cake Pans
Does your student like to bake but you would rather not spend money on a one time character cake pan? The UMES library has cake pans in all shapes and sizes for your student to check out. We have many different characters including Mickey Mouse and My Little Pony as well as different shaped pans such as a giant cupcake. We also have holiday themed pans such as heart pans. The cake pans are located by the cookbooks and can be checked out for three weeks. All we ask is that you wash the pan prior to returning it to the library. The library also accepts donations of metal and silicone cake pans if you are cleaning out your cupboard!
Health Reminders
Flu season is here, and we all want to keep our students healthy and safe. Please remind your child to practice good hygiene, such as washing their hands frequently and covering their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
If your child is feeling unwell, especially with flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, or body aches, we ask that you to keep them at home to rest and recover and be fever free for 24 hours without medication, before returning to school. This helps prevent the spread of illness to others.
Thank you for your support in keeping our school community healthy. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to reach out.

Our PTA is excited to host Family Bingo night on Friday, February 7. At this time, we have reached capacity and can no longer accept additional registrations.
If you registered to attend and your plans change, please email pta@unionmillpta.org so we can take you off the list and open your spots to another family.
This is a free event for our UMES families. These giveback events are only possible through your support of the UMES PTA. Thank you!
Membership
PTA Memberships are only good for one year. Members get PTA information first, discounts and benefits at PTA-sponsored events, and are the first to know about volunteer opportunities at the school!
Why Join?
Membership is only $15/year for a family and $7.50/year for an individual or staff member and shows you value our school community - students, staff and your fellow parents and caregivers. It’s a small investment - you spend more than that on Starbucks or gas every week! Show your love and support of Union Mill and click here to join today.
