The first meeting for the 2020-2021 school year will be held on August 11th at 7 PM via Zoom. The Union Elementary Dads Club has been around since the 1990s. They plan a number of fun, extra-curricular activities for Union kids throughout the year, as well as work with the teachers and PTO to improve educational resources. Basically, the Dads are all about kids and having fun! The motto: is “Be Glad You’re A Dad!”
While they typically meet in the Teachers’ Lounge the first Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM, this year all meetings will be held digitally. All are welcome to attend!
