For the first time ever Upsala Schools participated in the Unified Robotics event at Bemidji High School. Today we brought two teams to compete in the 2025 challenge "Lord of the Robots". The Unified program is a collaborative event where students work together and compete in an annual challenge. This program is highly supportive of students with special needs and embraces the idea everyone can compete!

Even the smallest learners can make a big difference! The Upsala preschool friends brought in 32 items today for our local food shelf. Thank you to our families that continue to uplift and support our community! Many hands make light work!
