10. Recap – Unity Celebrates the 5-Year Anniversary for 5 Educators and 10-Year Anniversary for 2 Educators!

This month, we honor five Unity staff members who are celebrating their fifth year at Unity, along with two staff members who are celebrating their tenth year with us.

As a young school, these teammates have made tremendous contributions to our programming, our curriculum, and – most importantly – the learning experiences of our students. They are true pillars of our community, and we thank them wholeheartedly for all that they have brought – and continue to bring – to our school.

Here they are—feel free to send them a note of congratulations!
