Course Selection Dates

Girls on Track!

The Girls on The Track after school running program needs your help! If you can volunteer 11/2 hours after school twice a week to help girls improve their self esteem through running contact the YMCA in Kennett Square. This is a wonderful program in danger of disappearing from Patton Middle School if parents don't come to the rescue!

MLK Food Drive Success

Congratulations to everyone on a job well done in donating 1,428 cans to the MLK Food Drive! This number, combined with the rest of the UCFSD schools, gave Unionville a total 2.777 cans donated to the Kennett Food Cupboard. We fell just short in our competition with Kennett (they donated 2,911 cans) so Dr. Sanville will be buying Dr. Tomasetti breakfast at Hanks! We have helped over 650 families who, otherwise, would have been without food and this includes over 1,000 CHILDREN. Visit the MLK CommUNITY Breakfast Food Drive on Facebook for photos of the events. The MLK CommUNITY Breakfast Committee wish to sincerely thank you for your wonderful spirit, your encouragement of each other, and for your joining together to make a real difference in our Kennett Area CommUNITY! This is the Heart and the Legacy of Dr. King, in action!
