UCFEF Fundraiser

The Unionville Chadds Ford Education Foundation invites you to a Spring Jewelry Show on Friday, March 4th from 12:00-2:00 pm or 6:30-8:30 p.m. Please join us for our fund raising event on March 4th and enjoy an evening of jewelry, food, friends, and fun!  30% of all sales will go directly to the Unionville-Chadds Ford Education Foundation! The goal of the Unionville-Chadds Ford Education Foundation is to enhance educational opportunities for our children.  We are a non-profit, parent-run organization staffed entirely by volunteers.  Now in our 13th year, we are extremely proud of the many educational projects the foundation has helped fund that were otherwise not within the school budget.  Please check out our website at www.ucfef.org for more information.

Fundraiser Thank You

THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU to all who came out and braved the cold to join us at our Chik Fil A night fund raiser on December 14th.   Thank you for your supporting your PTO!  Unfortunately, the cow got caught in traffic and promises us that he will come back next time to say hello to the students. We will plan another Chik Fil A night when the weather get's a little warmer!

Energy Drinks

With the commercialization of many new, enhanced and well marketed energy drinks, there has been a few comments shared with me concerning student involvement with these products. While some of these products include a combination of alcohol and caffeine, these to best of our knowledge have not been issues at school. Some of these products you may be familiar with as they have made the news due to some of the dangerous incidents that have occurred due to their consumption. Some companies and businesses have even pulled them from the shelves.

The concerns coming to our attention are the legal energy drinks and student use and the sharing them with others. Though they are legal products, the reasons we are hearing for their use is risk taking behavior in and of itself. Students are seeing what happens to them when taken and how much can be taken. As we know, most things taken in excess can have negative consequences.

We encourage you to continue monitoring your child's activities and actions to include conversation with them regarding these products and their effects.Thank you for your support in this most important matter.
