East Union Elementary boasts an incredible STEM program, thanks to the efforts of all of our teachers. Last year, our school was awarded a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) BEST (Businesses Engaging Students and Teachers) grant, acquired by fourth and fifth grade Science teacher Mr. Marcus Patten. Together with Mrs. Robin McNutt (Computer Science/Technology teacher) and Ms. Autumn Hoadley (Mathematics teacher), Mr. Patten completes the STEM acronym with Engineering projects such as those shown here. Students applied all of this learning to the construction of working robots with materials purchased from the grant funding. In addition, students will soon be creating programs to produce objects via 3D printers, such as the one pictured. Many thanks to all of our teachers for integrating Computer Science and STEM lessons with other Core subject areas. Our Little Eagles have some amazing foundational skills that will serve them well in future careers!

Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, and we have so much for which to be grateful! Many thanks to Zach and Andi Clear and family for planning a great event for all East Union families, and to our PTO staff members who helped make last Friday evening’s Costume Party and Dance such fun. Our next PTO meeting is Wednesday, November 6th at 4:00 at El Ranchito in Afton. Plans will soon be underway for our annual carnival, among other community events and fundraisers. Please consider joining us; all East Union families and friends are welcome!

As most of you know, next week is Parent-Teacher conference week. In the secondary, we have run our conferences as an open house. Those of you who wish to visit, know that you are free to visit any teacher either Tuesday or Thursday next week and discuss your student. For some of you, the Secondary Secretary, Anna Beckett, will be reaching out to you to schedule a conference. We schedule conferences with any student that has a failing grade or for any other concern a teacher may have. Anna will reach out to you to ensure that these get scheduled at a time that works for both the teacher and the family. If you as a parent or guardian would like to have a private time to talk with any specific teacher, please reach out to Anna Beckett at 641-347-8421 or abeckett@eastunionschools.org to schedule a conference. Anna has access to all our teachers schedules and can get a conference set up for you. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you next week!
