Mums on a Mission:

All premium mums are $12. Colors are pink/purple, red, orange, white, and yellow. The order deadline is Monday, September 6 at 10am. Mums are from Smits Farms, a wonderful family owned and operated business in Chicago Heights, IL. Click here to visit the ordering page.

Common Ground:

  • As part of our Parent Fellowship, UCA is launching our version of the already established Common Ground program. Common Ground is a program in which your family will be partnered with another family from a different cultural background. Through regular, informal meetings arranged by you and your partner family, you will explore differences, correct misunderstandings, and discovery similarities that unify you to each other.

  • If you desired to sign up at Parent Orientation, but were unable to, please email Mrs. Bootsma at cbootsma@weareuca.org to do so. Don’t miss this opportunity to create a meaningful relationship with another family!
