🍽️ A Taste of Unity: UDS Academy Students Host Unforgettable Dinner Night
On June 27, the students of Uniting Distant Stars Academy, grades 7 through 11, served up more than just a delicious meal—they brought heart, style, and leadership to the table.
In an evening filled with pride and purpose, students organized a Dinner Night that turned the school hall into a celebration of youth initiative and collective generosity. Every student contributed—some donating food, others offering funds—to ensure the event blossomed into something truly unforgettable.
