Union Center Elementary School

Our Bearcats are learning so much while making memories to last a lifetime! BearcatConnect

Here are more photos of our Bearcats' fun-filled day!

Our UCE 5th graders enjoyed a campfire after their day filled with a 7-mile hike where they learned about different species of plants and animals. Go, Bearcats!

Our 5th graders have made it safely to Camp Goodfellow and are getting settled in. They did a great job pitching in to empty our buses. Our Bearcats are looking forward to a great couple of days (with PERFECT weather!) filled with learning and adventures!

Mrs. Humyak takes time supporting student learning through small groups. JSE teachers preK to 5th grade use whole group and small group instruction to reach every student everyday. #BearcatPride #youarelovedatJSE #UTSCeverystudenteveryday

We are getting excited for our Middle School Band and Choir concert tonight at 6:30pm!

October is Bullying Prevention Month. At UTSC, we choose kindness, speak up for others, and stand together to stop the hate. Think twice before saying something that isn’t kind—your words matter. Students who need help are encouraged to talk with a school counselor or visit www.stompoutbullying.org.

Thank you to our rock star counselor, Mrs. Dobson for putting on our annual College & Career Fair today for our students! We had over 30 representatives from careers, military branches, trades, and colleges. Thank you to our community for showing up for our WHS kids 💚🧡

Our UCE Bearcats are practicing the lifeskills of resilience and cooperation by building cup towers in groups during their SEL class. #BearcatBuilt

Today, our school community pauses to remember September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage, service, and unity shown that day. Bearcats will never forget.
