You are AMAZING

There were so many truly AMAZING presentations this week.  You amazed us with your creative scrapbooks, drawings, paintings, playing Mozart, enthusiasm for your project, and the knowledge that you passed on to us about your amazing person.  


At the end of each day students took a "pop" quiz on the amazing people presented.  They learned about the lives of so many musicians, artists, photographer, and architect that I know they will be inspired in their lives to pursue their own creativity and dreams.

College project reminder:

College Poster Boards are due this Wednesday, 5/30.

The moment we have been working so hard for: 

College fair is Friday, June 1^st, from 11-12:15

Parents are welcomed to attend to hear your child become a college salesperson!   

MR. NOLEN FOR HIS GENEROUS DONATION OF SNACKS.  MR. NOLEN CHALLENGED STUDENTS FROM OUR CLASS AND MRS. DRAIN’S CLASS TO A COMPETITION ON THE WAY BACK TO SCHOOL FROM THE HENRY FORD MUSEUM.  WHICHEVER CLASS COULD BE ENTIRELY SILENT WOULD GET A REWARD FROM MR. NOLEN.  BOTH CLASSES WON! 

MRS. TALIFERRO FOR JOINING US AS A CHAPERONE FOR OUR TRIP TO THE HENRY FORD MUSEUM.

MRS. FREEMAN FOR SNACKS.  

UPA'S first ever FIELD DAY is Wednesday, June 13th.  The 3rd-5th graders will be participating from 12:00-2:20 in a variety of activities.


Students will be enjoying hot dogs for lunch from a truck called "Franks-in Atra".  It is all you can eat for hot dogs, chips, and pop.  The cost is $7 per student. Please turn in the money before Friday, June 8th.


There will be a parent letter coming home on Tuesday asking for parent volunteers for the field day.  We need parents to help run the various activities, monitoring the games and students as they play the games.  Parents are needed for the full two hours.


Several important facts: 

• Students are able to wear athletic clothing - no tank tops or sandals are allowed. Gym shoes are required.
• Participation is a privilege and is the teacher's decision.  Behavior is a major issue for participation.
