UNION CITY, MI (WTVB) – Union City Community Schools is making district history tonight, , by transforming Alumni Field into a hub for reading with its inaugural “Literacy Under the Lights” event.
Running from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the family-friendly initiative aims to combine community spirit and education by bringing together students, families, staff, and local businesses.
The evening kicks off with a Community Tailgate from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the parking lot, where those who attend can enjoy food and interactive literacy games hosted by local organizations.
Then on the football field at 7:00 p.m., elementary students will make a grand entrance simulating the high school football team.
Once on the turf, the young students will pair up with the district’s fall student-athletes, who will guide them through interactive literacy activities and read books together under the stadium lights.
Organizers hope the unique setting will foster a lifelong love for reading, creating a positive, memorable environment that demonstrates the entire Union City community’s commitment to youth academic success.
