Attention New Union Academy Families
Now that we’ve been in school for a few weeks, you know all there is to
know about the ins and outs at UA, right? If you are anything like I was
when I was a new UA parent, I still had so many questions. And if you
are like me, then you might find it helpful to talk with other parents
who have been right where you are. If you are a new Union Academy Family
and would like to meet other new families and some “veteran” UA families
come on out for our
“New Parent Social”
FOR UA FAMILES BY UA FAMILIES!
Wednesday, August 14th
After Morning Drop Off
at Chick Fil A on Hwy 74 in Monroe
Grab a biscuit and some coffee or a large Coke, and get to know some
other families. There will be veteran UA parents there to ask any of
those questions you may be having.

Scripcards
Scrip is a year-round fundraiser where you purchase gift cards. Union Academy purchases Scrip gift cards at
discount between 2-15%. Families buy the Scrip gift cards at face value—UA keeps the difference.
Retailers include: Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Lowe’s, Chick-Fil-A, Olive Garden, Gap, Amazon, and 100’s more.
Last year, total sales of $87,000 generated $4,376 of profit. Only 10% of UA families participated! Just imagine, if
only 200 families spend $110/month and our school earns an average of 5% on those purchases, we could make
$15,000 in one year!
How to Order Scrip Gift Cards:
1. Fill out the Scrip order form (found on the Scrip page on the UA website)
2. Attach payment to form and send with your child or drop off at either campus.
3. If cards are available immediately, they will be given to you that day or the next. If cards need to be ordered,
they will be available by the end of the week.
