Union City, Tenn.–Union City Middle School students and their parents are getting some help with school supplies for the coming school year, too.
After announcing last week that all Union City Elementary School supplies would be provided for the 2020-21 school year, UC Director of Schools Wes Kennedy said the system would furnish several items normally required of students in Grades 5-8 as well.
Hand sanitizer, Kleenex, wipes and Ziploc bags will be supplied for UCMS students, thus removing those things from the usual beginning-of-the-year list for each class.
“Hopefully, this will help our parents with some of the expense of school shopping, and it’s certainly something we’re happy to do for them during these trying times,” Kennedy said.
UCMS Principal Lance Morgan expressed his appreciation of the school system’s gesture and noted the significance of the action.
“Mr. Kennedy and our school system have stepped up for our kids and parents, just like always,” Morgan said. “As both an administrator and a parent, I’m so grateful. I’m certain our families of students will be as well.”
A complete supply list for each grade is attached.
Classes for the 2020-21 school year in the UC School System are set to begin Aug. 10.
