Upsala Area Schools

Upsala preschool friends had a great time learning through play during farm week! We even topped off our exploring with a visit to the FFA Petting Zoo! We are so fortunate to have a school community where we all learn from each other, big or small!

Our 7th grade Health class has been very creative with their "Go Green" project. Here is one that was completed today by Izabella Johnson, Ruby Klug, and Josie Roerick.
