WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF COCO!

On November 4th, the OUES cafeteria will transform into the wonderful and colorful world of COCO! Right after school, students will immerse themselves in the vibrant world of Día de los Muertos with a variety of fun activities. They’ll enjoy traditional Mexican snacks, sip on warm hot chocolate, and participate in creative crafts inspired by the colorful scenes and characters from Coco. This festive gathering promises to be a memorable afternoon where kids can learn about culture, express their creativity, and have a great time—all while supporting their school.

When: November 4th 3-5PM

Tickets: $50/child, $25 sibling

Tickets can be purchased here: Old Union Event Tickets

LET'S KEEP OUR TROPHY! Club Charlie Kindergarten Contest

Last week CEF officially kicked off Club Charlie which is a contest just for kindergarteners across elementary campuses. We pulled off an upset last year and unseated Carroll Elementary's 5 year streak to win a popsicle party with Charlie and that amazing trophy at our entrance. We want to keep our trophy and have Charlie celebrate with all our kindergartners again this year!

• We know it gets confusing this time of year with Dragon Dash in full swing, but CEF is a separate organization from our Old Union PTO with a mission to fund and retain our incredible teachers across the district.
• Any amount helps toward our campus participation rate and is so appreciated, even just $5 or $10. Please also make sure to select that your student is a kindergartner and your campus is Old Union.
• We still need 40+ families to donate to help us win. And a huge THANK YOU to the families who have already donated! Right now we are in first place but only by 1%!
