Students from Pacific High School, who are part of the Empac Group, spent their summer giving back to the community through hands-on service with the Union Parks and Recreation Department.
This summer, these dedicated students worked alongside city staff to clean up, weed, and beautify public parks and community spaces across Union. Their efforts helped create more welcoming, well-maintained areas for residents to enjoy.
In recognition of their hard work and commitment, the Union Board of Aldermen presented the students and school staff with certificates of appreciation during a recent city meeting.

Coleman Elementary Kindergarten & 1st grade students had a special guest reader this week. Brooke Mizner, former Coleman student & current PHS Junior, came to read her award-winning story, "Mr. Prickles and Whiskers: An Unlikely Friendship." Brooke attends Four Rivers and is enrolled in the Education Rising Program, where she is currently studying to be a school teacher. The story that she wrote and illustrated was entered into the Ed-Rising State Competition in March, and she won first place. This summer, Brooke will travel to Florida, where her book will compete at the National Level. Congratulations Brooke on your great success. You should be very proud, and #MVNation is proud of you! #GrowingTogether
