Annual Spring Sing & Community Potluck, March 8, 12-3pm
Union Street Charter families join together at this wonderful school community event! Fiona leads the students a music performance and everyone enjoys a festive potluck. This year’s event will be held at the Bayside Community Hall. There is a sign up on the porch or you can email the office to help (see job list below). We ask families who are new to the school to come and enjoy the event for the first time without needing to do anything other than bring your family, place settings, and potluck dishes.
Parking: There are 35 spaces in the Hall parking lot. There is additional parking in the open lot with chain link fence at the corner of Jacoby Creek Road and Old Arcata Road and in the Mistwood School lot. There is one bicycle rack at the kitchen end of the property. Attendees for many events park along Jacoby Creek Road. While this is allowed, it can be treacherous. The road is narrow and the ditches are deep in some places.
