Happy World Poetry Day!

Who doesn't love poetry? I love that there is a day to celebrate poetry. We've gotten a few new poetry books in our library recently, but have a lot of "oldies" that are still "goodies."

Battle of the Bluebonnets

I am so proud of our 5 students that represented Union Hill at the District Battle of the Bluebonnets!

This year, the competition took place at the Heritage Center at the Dell Diamond! Several special guests were in attendance such as Spike, and our Superintendent Dr. Flores! Each student on the team received 4 tickets to an Express game where all RRISD students that competed will be honored.

Thank you!

Thank you so much to all of the teachers and students who participated in Read Across America Week last week. It was so fun to see everyone's creativity come to life with the different themes. I also really enjoyed spending Friday in the dark... with Flashlight Friday all day!

Here's a few pictures to enjoy!
