Uniontown USD 235 - Winning by Education

5/11/26

Dear Preschool Families,

As we wrap up the final week of a wonderful school year, I want to share some important information about the end-of-year schedule for our preschool program.

Please be advised that the last day of school for both morning and afternoon preschool sessions will be Thursday, May 14, 2026.

This decision was made due to logistical challenges on Friday, May 15. On that day, our elementary students (Kindergarten through 6th grades) will be participating in various end-of-year field trips, and the entire district will observe a 1:00 PM early release. Because of these conflicting schedules and the resources required for the field trips, we will not have the transportation available to run our standard preschool routes on Friday, May 15.

We wanted to provide you with this notice as early as possible to allow your family time to make any necessary childcare arrangements.

It has been a joy watching our youngest learners grow this year. We look forward to celebrating their many accomplishments during their final days of class. Thank you for your continued support of West Bourbon Elementary.

Sincerely,

Dustin Miller
Principal, West Bourbon Elementary

During the Marmaton Valley tournament, Lillyan Robinson earned a spot at the Kansas State Forensics Tournament at Sedgwick High School in Sedgwick, KS, on Saturday, May 2, 2026, by earning a 2 during finals with her Original Oration (OO) entitled "The Dangers of AI." OO is an event where students present speeches they have written themselves. At the state tournament, Lilly earned a 4 and two 5s out of 26 competitors in this event. While this wasn't high enough to earn her a spot in the semi-finals, it's certainly nothing to sneeze at for a freshman's first year in Forensics!

A special shoutout to Pam Speer, Lillyan's grandmother, who attended as our judge representative. According to reports, Pam learned a lot and had some fun along the way.

PS: Did we eat at Gilly's? No. Did we settle for Spangles? Yes. Were we "all shook up" about competing at state! Absolutely!
