If you haven't yet taken the plunge and bought a yearbook, the time is now! After Nov 24 (Black Friday) the price will go up from $54 to $59 (plus tax). Order online at JostensYearbooks.com or bring payment to Mr Cheney. Elementary memory books will be $15 plus tax all year.

ATTENTION FAMILIES OF SENIORS: This is a heads up that the yearbook needs your senior portraits and baby pictures. The sooner you can turn them in the better, but the actual deadline is the last day of school before Christmas break. Email them to dancheney@upsala.k12.mn.us or bring them in and we can scan them. Thanks!

In PE this week we are doing the push-up, sit-up, mile test.
