The UGES Read-a-thon was a huge success. Great job UGES students. You helped raise $4,834 through all of your reading efforts! Wow! That's a lot of reading!
Who wants to see Mr. Hansen work all day from the roof of the school? It could become a reality! Beginning April 8th-26th, Student Council will be sponsoring a food drive. All UGES students are encouraged to bring in non-perishable food items and place them in the barrels by the main office beginning Monday, April 8. If we fill 10 barrels, Mr. Hansen will be on the roof. Let's get this done UGES! We can do it!
Ms. Passe's 1st grade class read "The Great Eggscape," learning about animal habitats and camouflage. They painted a "habitat" and then camouflaged an egg. Habitats were set on desks and students had to select an egg to see if they could match it to the correct habitat. Some were very tricky!
Ms. Kieffer's kindergarten class spent the week doing jellybean math, tulip painting, making spring cards, and showing their Pony Pride! They also did a "Peep" writing activity and enjoyed eating them when they were all done!
8th grade students learned valuable CPR skills in Ms. Marshall's science class today. What a great activity for our 8th grade students to be a part of.
