Our Young Marines Career Fridays were a huge success! Thank you to our military service men and women, both veteran and currently active, who came to speak to our Young Marines about the diverse career opportunities within the armed forces. Thank you Master Sergeant Portugal, Petty Officer Second Class Chucaralao, ME2 Adam San Miguel, Gunner’s Mate 1st Class De Fazio, and Captain Carlos Pereira for sharing your experiences and pictures with our Young Marines!

Please be advised that due to the impending extreme heat, Mayor Brian P. Stack has announced the opening of a cooling center in Union City for residents seeking shelter from the heat in the coming days. Thank you for taking the time to read the announcement.

We’re excited to kick off our 4th Annual Summer Program with 85 Young Marines enrolled with the help of the Union City High School MCJROTC cadets. This program helps our students build self-confidence, promote leadership skills, excel academically, honor veterans, and the importance of helping our community while promoting the mental, moral, and physical development of our Young Marines.

Please take a moment to read this very important message from our Union City Superintendent of Schools Silvia T. Abbato concerning Independence Day. Thank you for taking the time to review.

On June 19th, we celebrate the 160th Anniversary of the end of slavery in 1865 in the United States, which is known today as Juneteenth. It is a combination of the month of 'June' and the 'nineteenth' day that commemorates the happy news of newly-freed slaves in Texas at the end of the Civil War.
