Freshman For A Day Program

Hello everyone, I wanted to talk today about the Freshman for a Day program at Union Catholic. Being a student ambassador, I personally get to experience the program firsthand every morning. To sign up, students/parents should call 908-889-1600, ext 328 for an appointment. You should check out the calendar on the UC website to try to find a day where your grammar school has a day off and Union Catholic does not, but most schools allow at least one excused absence for Freshmen for a Day programs for 7th and 8th graders. On the day of your appointment, prospective students enter the building through the main entrance and are greeted by myself, my fellow ambassadors, our Head of Recruitment Mr. Luciano, and our Admissions Director Mrs. Thornton. Students are then matched up with current freshmen who probably take similar classes or are involved in similar activities to spend the day with. Students follow the freshmen through each class, including Lunch where they receive a free lunch voucher, and get to see the school through the eyes of a student. Students can then be picked up at the end of the day at 1:30 pm at the gym entrance. I personally went as a freshmen for a day when I was in 8th grade and it was really a great decision maker for me. Open Houses cannot truly give students the experience that Freshmen for a Day does. Please come sign up ASAP!
