Dear Parents, Grandparents, Sponsors and Friends of University Elementary,

What a whirlwind the past four months has created for our school system.  The COVID pandemic has introduced many challenges. As parents of UES students, Paul McClenahan and I are starting a call to action to ask for help in preparation for this coming school year.  WE NEED YOUR HELP.  If you are anything like us, we have to work; therefore, we must have a game plan to keep our kids as safe as possible. We, as parents, can respond and make choices to benefit the school to help our kids.  NOW IS THAT TIME.

While the state and district are providing many resources to keep our students and staff safe, we want to make sure our Wildcats are over-prepared. In a recent conversation with Mrs. Mainerio, the main needs are as followed:

-        Plexiglas Barriers

-        Technology for students to get a 1:1 ratio

-        Technology for teachers to improve a virtual option experience

The cost factor is a real challenge we face and now is the time to act.  In the coming weeks, you will see a Local Level page being advertised to help with this need.  I urge you to donate (even a few dollars) to this cause.  Please help us face this challenge head on so this school year can move forward in the safest way possible.

Very respectfully,

Carla S. Anderson

Paul McClenahan
