At Uni High, we strive to foster an environment where everyone, inclusive of race, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, political beliefs, ability, language, and religion, will feel welcome, visible, and heard.

The Statistics classes at Uni are hosting a FREE Carnival on Oct. 29 during lunch in Uni Gym. Come play games and collect prizes!  All students and staff are welcome. 

While most Uni students are too young to vote in the real election, all students can participate in the Uni High Mock Election on Friday Nov. 1. Students will cast a vote for the Presidential race, but also for important local elections (preview the mock ballot here). The polling place will be in or outside Room 109 throughout the day. You can also cast your vote virtually (a link will be posted on Friday.) 
Voters get an "I Voted" sticker and pride in performing their mock civic duty! Thanks to League of Women Voters Interns and Take Action Club for helping with election administration! 

The library will be sharing information on where and how to find non-partisan candidate and referendum information. Stop by to check your voting registration status and find your polling place. Pamphlets will be provided with sample ballots and information on the following cities within Champaign County: Champaign-Urbana, Rantoul, Mahomet-Seymour, Arthur, Thomasboro, Tolono, Tuscola. 
This event is open to all students and staff - even if you cannot vote! We encourage everyone to learn more about the election and pick up information to share with your voting-eligible peers and family.

The library is hosting a Fall Festival after school on Thursday, Oct. 31! Join us for fresh apple cider (Thanks, Ms. Arnold, for lending your CrockPot), homemade treats, crafts, board games, and great company. 
We will also screen Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox, beginning at 3:25 p.m. sharp. For questions, please speak to library staff. See you there! 

Want a fright? Come enjoy your night at Sprabitat's Haunted House and Carnival! A $5 admission fee gets you into the Haunted House, and access to face painting, fortune telling, gym games, and other fun activities. There is also a pie-in-the-face raffle and a cake walk.  The fun is at Kenney Gym on Saturday  Nov. 2, 7-9 p.m.  All proceeds will go to Spring Initiative in this PTSA-affiliated fundraiser.
