ANNOUNCEMENTS

BALCONY GAMES: The games in the balcony are not to be used after school; they are only for use during lunch breaks.

FROM STUDENT COUNCIL: There will be a coin war going on next week from Dec. 9-13 as a giving opportunity for you as students to participate in. 

• For those of you who don't know what a coin war is; each class will get their own jug. These jugs will be located on the front table in the office. Your job is to bring in your spare change to fill in your jug. However, you can sabotage other classes' jugs by putting bills in them. The bills will subtract the cost of the coins. For instance, if your class has $1.15 in coins in their jug, and someone puts a $1 bill in the jug, your class's jug will then only be worth $0.15. 

The goal amount in all that we are hoping to raise is $1,000. If we meet that goal, the student council will choose two teachers to dress up in funny costumes for the day. The class with the highest amount will also receive a prize. All profits will be split between the Genesis House and World Renew.

FROM THE LIBRARY: All books are due by next week Thursday, the 14th. Please return those to the library ASAP. For those who have just recently checked out books, please talk to one of the librarians if you'd like to keep a book over the holidays.

NICSTO giving Deadline December 6!!

We use NICSTO funds for providing financial aid to families who have a financial need. As of 11-18-24, Unity has $115,000 left to raise to meet our NICSTO goal. Giving to NICSTO provides you with a tax credit of 75% of what you contribute.

NICSTO giving form

We need to have our donation goal met by December 6, otherwise our unclaimed funds will become eligible for other schools.  If you have any questions about this opportunity please email Wayne Dykstra at wdykstra@unitychristian.net.

From the Nurse: Pertussis (also known as whooping cough) has been on the rise in our state and there have now been confirmed cases in Sioux County. It is an infection that causes a severe cough that can last for weeks or months, sometimes leading to coughing fits and/or vomiting. If you are taking your student to a healthcare provider for pertussis-like symptoms, please mention it to them and let us know if your student tests positive. If you have any questions, please contact school nurse Melinda or Community Health Partners at (712) 737-2971.

Missing computer chargers: The library has 3 computer chargers that are missing. If you have one, please return it ASAP!

Sign up for TEAMS - (Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science) - TEAMS is a fun competition that takes place in late January. Groups of 4 work to answer questions, solve problems and design a product all related to this year's topic of Extreme Weather. Please email or talk to Mrs. Nyenhuis about participating in this year's competition.
