Since it was too cold and wet to visit on Halloween, the T/Th 4 year old preschool class visited Upsala Senior Living for Thanksgiving instead! They shared Thanksgiving books and Thanksgiving art and a lot of smiles!
The 3 year old preschool class went on a fish walk! They found fish with letters on them, and then found a fish tank with real fish! They also had fun playing with frogs in moon sand and water.
Our fall play "Just Another High School Play" opens tonight. Performances are tonight and tomorrow at 7:30pm in the auditorium. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for student and senior citizens. Come and support the students!

FCS 1 students have completed their pot holder hand towel project and several have been embellishing their project by adding embroidery designs using the embroidery machine that we are loaning through STEMBound.
These students have earned their double black belt on recorder - that is 18 tests passed! Way to go!
More students are earning their black belts on recorders - Congratulations!
It's never too late to celebrate Halloween! Because of the football game last week, the 3 year old preschool didn't have class. We celebrated today with a pumpkin walk. We found 10 pumpkins in the hallway and a lot more in our classroom!

The fall play is coming up, and the Upsala Drama Club will be presenting "Just Another High School Play" by Bryan Starchman. The plot has a group of high school actors who have apparently been abandoned by their drama teacher. They are left to fend for themselves opening night in front of a live audience. No one is really quite sure what they are supposed to do. The student assistant director and the stage manager step in, find a box of scripts which they pass out to the cast, and try to throw something together.
Performances are scheduled for November 15 & 16 at 7:30pm in the auditorium.
Quinn Guthrie takes 33rd in state (16:59) and Dawson takes 41st (17:03). It was another amazing year for the Holdingford/Upsala team.
There will be an early out on Thursday due to the football game. Students will be released at noon. See the attached letter for more info.
