The Unity Scoop – May 9
Dear Unity Families,
Let me begin this edition of The Scoop with a hearty note of admiration and gratitude to all of the mothers in our community. Happy Mother’s Day to you!
This past week was a busy one, with middle school state exams and high school Advanced Placement (AP) exams taking place. Congratulations to our middle school students for completing their state math exams! And kudos to our high school students who sat for their AP exams in Biology, Government, Literature, World History, and U.S. History!
On behalf of our entire community, we are extremely proud of our students for their dedication and effort in preparing for these exams over the past several months. We look forward to cheering on our high schoolers as they complete their remaining AP exams next week. Once again, we are proud of you!
A heartfelt thank-you as well to everyone who contributed to Educator Appreciation Week at Unity. Our team truly felt the love and gratitude shared by our community.
Below, you’ll find valuable resources for our 8th grade families who will be continuing on to Unity High School in the 2025–26 school year. In addition, we’re recapping key updates and resources from last week’s edition of The Unity Scoop—including a remarkable list of college acceptances for Unity’s Class of 2025! We look forward to celebrating this milestone next Friday during our College Signing Day festivities.
Wishing you a great week ahead!
Josh

Middle School Scholar-Athlete of the Month for March: Agneizska Thompson
Team: Step
Current GPA: 3.3
Quote from Student-Athlete’s Coach: “Zuri exemplifies the perfect balance of being both an outstanding student and a dedicated team member. She consistently demonstrates a strong commitment to her academic responsibilities, often using breaks during practice to complete her homework and class assignments. Zuri’s initiative is truly commendable. She not only takes the time to learn choreography beyond what is required but also creates original steps, showcasing her creativity and drive to contribute more to the team. Her leadership qualities are evident, especially considering she is the only 6th grader on the team—an achievement that highlights her maturity and exceptional talent. Zuri is a valued asset to our team, and her positive attitude, work ethic, and dedication make her a standout individual deserving of recognition.”
Quote from Student Athlete: In learning that she had earned Scholar-Athlete of the Month, Zuri offered the following response: “I am excited and proud of myself because I don’t always see myself in this position.”
