THE AMAZING RACE HAS COME TO UPA!!

We are now into our last session of Social Studies and Mr. Curran and Mr. Wetherbee have come up with an awesome project - The Amazing Race! Students will be working in teams, writing clues for regions of the U.S., and then other teams will need to figure out what the clues lead to!  Follow the progress on the link below.

FIELD DAY - JUNE 15TH

We will be spending the day at Wayne State’s Athletic Field, where the students will be participating in numerous activities. Students are encouraged to bring their own water bottle to use throughout the day and they are allowed to wear free dress in the form of athletic clothes. NO sandals or tank tops. Gym shoes required!

In order for this event to be possible, we are asking the students to contribute $5.00 to go towards the cost of food (hot dogs, chips, juice, etc). If your child could bring the money in by Friday, June 3^rd, it would be greatly appreciated!

*Participation is a privilege, and its up to the discretion of your child’s teacher. Behavior starting now till the end of the school year is a key factor in the decision.
