We have been blessed with wonderful snacks for our teachers on these days in recent years, and we are again seeking volunteers this year. If you are interested and willing to help provide snacks for around 30 teachers for their professional development time on 1:30 dismissal Fridays, sign up below! Snacks for Teachers' PD Fridays

Emergency Kitchen Workers Needed: Parents, there are days when we have a need for emergency workers in the kitchen. Sick days, appointments and an occasional vacation day leave us searching for a “sub” for a day here and there. Would you consider being on an emergency list for days like these? The commitment would be to work from 11:30-1pm. You would receive a complimentary meal and a $15 credit to your child’s lunch account. You can always say “no” when we call. Thanks for considering. If you are interested please contact Maggie Reinke at mreinke@unitychristian.net.
Attendance: Parents, please remember to send an email to koetken@unitychristian.net or call the Unity office at (712)737-4114 if your student will be late for school, needs to leave school early or will be absent. You will receive attendance-related alerts throughout the day when your student is marked absent. The office will reconcile reasons and attendance toward the end of each day.
Unity Family Tree in Courtyard: We would love to add pictures of our new families at Unity Christian to our family tree located in the Courtyard. We also know some of you have taken new family pictures and would like to update yours on the tree.
