We are officially hosting auditions for "A Christmas Fruitcake and other Weighty Matters" on Wed, Dec 3 and Thursday Dec 4 after school in the choir room. I have attached the script so you can take a look at the characters and vibe of the show. Music is flexible, and I am looking at 2-4 ensemble numbers.
Unlike the shows of the past, we outright own the rights to this script, and are able to add characters/make changes/add funny things as we see fit. We are for sure adding vocal soloists to the script (even if you are in the ensemble/server and have no lines). For solo ideas, check out this Youtube Channel (any video will do, song selections will be made after roles are cast to best fit the script/character)

Everyone will sing Jingle Bells in the audition, and will read a page from the script. The script page will be given in the audition. Students interested in a vocal solo will let us know at this time.
Students in grades 6-12 are welcome to audition. I hope to see you all there! Break a leg!

Today is National Special Education Day, December 2, 2025. We are UNITED in our appreciation for our staff members that are helping these students everyday.
“Students with special needs require more than just an education from their teachers. They need support, warmth, and acceptance to reach their full potential.”

United Local School District will be closed today, December 2, 2025, due to weather.
Reminder to United Local Parents and Students:
Our staff gathered today in Swiger Strong shirts to send love, strength, and encouragement to Mr. Swiger. In moments that matter, our community always comes together. We’re behind you 100%, Mr. Swiger.
Mrs. Hepner took a group of junior high math students to YSU for a Mega Math Day. Students participated in a team competition with 11 other schools and attended workshops about different real life math implementations. The workshops ranged from higher level problem solving job interview questions, magic tricks, counting animal populations and even used an abacus. Two of our students earned prizes in the mixed team competition. Great day using math!
Happy Appreciation Day to our Substitute Teachers! A huge THANK YOU to our great substitute teachers for the support that they provide to our students and staff members. We appreciate all of their hard work, in continuing to help our students to learn when we need someone to step in to fill a spot.
We are UNITED in our appreciation for all that you do! Thanks to all the amazing substitute teachers out there!

Today is World Kindness Day! “Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” Quote by: Scott Adams
Ways that you can share kindness with those around you:
1. Send an uplifting text to a loved one
2. Be kind and courteous on the road when driving
3. Intentionally allow laughter and kindness into your everyday life
4. Step out of your comfort zone if it will make someone smile
5. Take a moment to compliment others
6. Connect with your family members or friends
7. Buy someone a cup of coffee – or treat yourself.

Yesterday our students and staff came together to honor the men and women who have served our country during our Veterans Day Assembly. Thank you to Mr. Blatch for planning and organizing the program and to all students and staff who contributed to making this meaningful event happen. A heartfelt thank you to Lieutenant Colonel John Tucker, U.S. Army (Ret.), for sharing his powerful message and to all of our local veterans who joined us today. United Local is proud to honor those who have protected our freedom today and every day.
On behalf of all of us here at United Local School District, we extend our deepest gratitude to all Veterans. Thank you for your unwavering commitment, your courage, and your sacrifice in service to our country.

Yesterday our staff came together for a full day of professional learning focused on collaboration, instructional strategies, technology integration, and student engagement. What made the day especially meaningful was that it was largely teacher-led and student-led, highlighting the talent, expertise, and leadership within our own building.
