UMS Home & school club


​Welcome to the 2023-2023 school year!


​The Home and School Club (HSC) at Union Middle School is a nonprofit organization committed to raising and distributing funds for programs that directly benefit UMS students. We support our school through teacher and staff funds, grants, student programs such as music, athletics, drama, art, as well as technology and facility improvements. In order to support these programs, we organize several fundraisers, such as the Membership Drive and the Book Fair.

​Among the many factors that make Union Middle School a special place is the support that we receive from the community for the various programs on campus. In addition to sharing the immeasurable gifts of time and talent, the financial generosity of our members is what enables the HSC to fund these very important programs that would not otherwise exist. Our successful fundraising campaigns enable the HSC to fund approximately $175.00 per child for enrichment programs for your child. 
​
We rely on your generous donations to hit our fundraising goals.
