Today was a special day at the Indiana Statehouse. Union was recognized at the 2026 @EducateIN Literacy Achievement Celebration. We had 100% of our students pass IREAD last year. Over the last three years, I’ve been able to take one guest, and this year Mrs. Small joined me. It was extra special today to have @CreeksideElem join us. My colleague and friend, Dr. @mbheiden, was the guest speaker for their outstanding growth in IREAD.💙@SecJennerIN @myfcs
Also, a shout out to @MarianUniv for being part of the journey last year!

Mrs. Ericson’s class participated in the @DailyJournalNet design an advertisement contest. The class created ads for Locke Trucking and the @JCPLIN. Today, the Junior Journal came to the U. Shelby and Charlie’s ads were chosen. Mrs. Locke (Locke Trucking and Union Alumni Family) joined us today to celebrate. Congrats to Shelby (Locke Trucking) and Charli (JCPL) DJ contest winners! @myfcs

Happy Read Across America Day! Did you know that reading for just 30 minutes per day can improve the trajectory of a child's life? Today and every day, please encourage the children in your life to continue reading. It's a small habit... that makes a BIG difference!📖🌟

Please help us celebrate how special the U is and all our accomplishments. We are a school rich in traditions, built on strong relationships, and united by our shared commitment to early literacy. This year, we are especially proud to celebrate our outstanding achievement of 100% passing IREAD for three years in a row. This accomplishment is a testament to the partnership between our community, teachers, students, and families and to the belief that we all share in the power of early learning. Here is a video clip spreading our J💙Y and greatness! https://t.co/q9B8XYObfq @myfcs @EducateIN
