At around 10:15 on my very first Monday here at Free Union, a posse of eight first-graders appeared excitedly if perhaps slightly insistently at my office door. “Hi, Eric.” they said, “Read this.” They presented me with a piece of cardstock that had been folded in half, and decorated on the front with eight illustrations of foods they each enjoyed.

Opportunity to work with young children, Monday through Friday, 12:30 - 5:45 pm daily. Also seek part-time Spanish teacher. See position descriptions for extended day and aftecare, and links for submitting a letter of interest and resume.
The exhibit, featuring fourteen Free Union Country School third graders and the Charlottesville heroes they interviewed, will be on display until June 30. Meanwhile check out the NBC29 News Story, and consult the Change Makers piece on the Cville Weekly website. The exciting takeaway: our students learn something about making a difference in their own lives, at home and at school.
