The Principal’s Post This last week in May has been another busy and exciting one for our students at Union Elementary School. Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Rogers led the band and chorus in a spring concert. I was blown away by the progress these students have made this school year. The band stretched themselves and learned how to play “Shout” and a Queen mashup songs that are well beyond the complexity of their beginner band books. The choral singers performed three songs. I respect the courage it takes for our students to stand up and perform in front of the audience both groups did an amazing job! The second and fourth grades went to visit the State House and Maine State Museum. The students came back excited to share all that they saw at the museum. They were especially excited about the mammal and geology displays.      Fifth grade celebrated the completion of the D.A.R.E. program by attending a picnic at Damariscotta State Park.  I want to give a great big congratulations to Aaliyah TenBroeck! As part of  D.A.R.E. students write an essay about what they learned during the program. Aaliyah’s essay was chosen as not only the best in her class but the best one submitted in all of Knox County!  She is a great example of a hard working and reflective student. Keep up the good work Aaliyah!
