Our Elementary PE classes had their water day! What a beautiful week to enjoy a fun activity! The students had a BLAST!

A heartfelt thank you to all of the staff and students for making me feel so special with an early Birthday surprise. Being with all of you makes this 80 year old stay young. I look forward to spending many more years with all of you and watching all you kids grow into amazing young adults. May you all have a wonderful summer and I will see you all in the fall.

Thank you Upsala Lions Club for your generous donation to our early childhood program at Upsala Area Schools!

Earlier this week, the 6th graders and the senior high mentors were able to take advantage of the beautiful weather while getting acquainted. The mentors answered questions about entering high school and gave the sixth graders a quick tour of the high school wing.
