Read With U

Union County Public Schools offers the Read With U program, which allows volunteers to partner with students to assist them with reaching their reading goals. Though the time commitment is just thirty minutes a week, many students in the Read With U program find this time spent with their reading buddies to be the best part of their day.

Chalk It Up to Love

Our Chalk It Up to Love program focuses on collecting donations of school supplies for teachers in our local Title I schools. These donations aid our teachers in giving their students the best education possible without having to spend money out of their own pockets.

Collection Focuses

Student Supplies

Teacher Supplies

Classroom Supplies

Volunteers are needed to help organize, inventory, and distribute school supplies. Donation drives are also extremely helpful in collecting the amount of supplies needed to support all the teachers in need.
