Jr. High band students played small ensembles for the senior residents at Vitality Living early this morning. They did a fantastic job!
Pirate Day in Kindergarten was a success! ❤️Thank you to Captain Jackie for sharing your treasure with us and to Ms. Mindy from preschool for lending us the fun pirate ship toys! ⚓️🏴☠️🌊
Congratulations to Upsala seniors Hannah Heesen and Dominic Blais on receiving the Student of Character Award at last night’s ceremony at Madden’s Resort in Brainerd! Your hard work, integrity, and leadership make your school and community proud. Congratulations!
Join us for the school musical this weekend!
This weekend the drama club will be presenting the musical "Rock Of Ages: Youth Edition" on Friday and Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 2pm.
It's based on the Broadway musical and movie of the same name - but it's a toned down version appropriate for all ages. The show features music from the 80s with songs by Journey, Poison, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar and many more.
Tickets will be sold at the door and are $7 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens. Come out and support the kids for one, two, or all three shows!
A big thank you to Ms. Beth Gunderson, Upsala Area Schools driver and Upsala Lions board member, for coming to read to the preschool friends this week. We really enjoyed your visit!
We officially completed this year’s American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge to raise money for kids with special hearts. Our K-6th graders did an amazing job and raised a total of $2,955.82! Our top fundraisers were Makena Lange ($547.54), Harris and Hayes Fletcher ($257.03-each), and Kennerly Nohner ($141.45). Thank you to everyone that donated! The students that completed Finn’s Mission had the opportunity to slime some volunteers this morning as well! Thank you so much to those volunteers!!!
