HELPING OUR FRIENDS IN EAST PALESTINE
United students are looking for a way to help the community of East Palestine as they recover from the train accident with burnt and discharged chemicals. We asked about bottled water, clothing, food, etc. Most of these items are already being taken care of by local churches, the Weigh Station, and the Red Cross. In speaking with E.P. school officials, the biggest need they have most immediately is for basic school supplies, as many students will have to throw out the supplies they had due to chemical exposure. Considering this need, our Student Council is sponsoring the collection of donations of SCHOOL SUPPLIES through Friday of this week. If you are not able to get to a store to buy school supplies, you can drop off a donation to go toward the school supplies drive. If you write a check, please make it out United Local.

This was well done and provided a lot of good information. Check it out using the video link below:

FUNDRAISING LAWS FOR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
United Local will host the Ohio Attorney General’s Office in providing training for leaders of non-profit organizations who deal with money involving youth (teams, clubs, booster groups, PTO's, etc.), The intent is to help these individuals and their groups to understand their responsibilities as they relate to the law. Our Board of Education would like to invite anyone interested to attend this meeting on February 6 at 6:30 pm. in the High School Auditorium to meet with Beth Short of the Ohio Attorney General's Office to go over the laws and procedures for handling money. Our Athletic Boosters Club will hold their meeting directly after this event. Other community organizations managing non-profit funds are also encouraged to attend. This will be great for anyone serving as a treasurer or other officer in an organization.
