Teachers at Union High School were greeted with signs of encouragement Monday morning as they arrived for a training session ahead of the new school year.
Across the street, members of Asbury Methodist Church stood along the curb near 66th Street and Mingo Road to show appreciation for the district’s educators.
A morning of encouragement
The gathering began before 8 a.m., just as teachers arrived for professional development inside the school. Church members held colorful signs with messages of gratitude and support.
Why it matters
Union Public Schools begins classes on Aug. 14, and organizers say they wanted to start the year with a visible message of appreciation. The church is located directly across from Union High School, making it a convenient spot for the show of support.
