Beautiful weather calls for some sledding! We got creative and made sleds out of cardboard and garbage bags. The students sure enjoyed the giant hill by the school parking lot.

Upsala's two FIRST Lego League teams, 64211 and 69467, competed yesterday in Bemidji. They did an extraordinary job growing through the difficult challenges and left an incredible impression on the judges and refs. All of the students should be proud for their accomplishments!

Thanks to Fuel Up: Kids In-School Health and Wellness Program and the grant that was applied for and received, our students are now able to purchase healthy smoothies every Friday. Thank you to Student Council and Head Cook Alice for being willing to help out and make this happen!
