This is the LAST WEEK for the United Way fundraiser!
A HUGE SHOUT OUT to Mr. Hess and Ms. Lucas for getting tatted up by their students! We appreciate them for helping United Way of Central Texas. Who will get tattoos this week?!
During all grade level lunches, students can donate money for various fun activities.
Parents can also donate by using the QR code on the flyer. (If they are donating for their child to participate in the activities, please email Parent Liaison, Mrs. Ventura at jennise.colinventura@killeenisd.org so she can add it to the list of participants.)
All donations are tax deductible (you will get a digital receipt) and stays in our area. These funds help our local students and their families that need help.

Happy Valentine's Day from Union Grove Middle School!

We sent out the letters last week. We already heard back from one school and they LOVED them! We love our students, locally and out of state.
