Dear Upland Terrace Family,
The month of September was a very busy month at Upland Terrace. Our students
and parents were able to take part in many fun activities to get the year
started with a bang. Upland community members skated the night away at
our PTA Skate Night that took place during the first week in September.
Our 2nd through 6th grades had the opportunity to hear President Obama
speak to the nation’s school children about the importance of setting
goals and getting a good education. We also had our annual “Road
to Success” Reading Program kick-off assembly, and Chief, the mascot
guest of honor, was a big hit. Thanks goes out to Amy Garff for the tremendous
amounts of effort that she continues to put into the “Road to Success”
Program!
We hope all parents and students had a relaxing fall break and are ready
for an exciting month of October. Red Ribbon Week will take place during
the week of October 12th. Each day of the week will be filled with fun
activities to help students learn ways to prevent themselves and others
from getting involved with drugs, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Our Reflections program is also running during October. The theme is “Beauty
is…”, and the due date for entries is Oct. 23rd. For a detailed
list of Reflections Category Guidelines please refer to the following
website: http://www.utahpta.org/individual.htm. Our school pictures are
Thursday, Oct. 8th and retakes will be on November 17th. Our first school
fundraiser will also begin in October, starting on the 7th and running
through the 21st. The estimated delivery date will be in late November
to early December. We will also be having our annual Halloween Parade
on October 29th. All parents and relatives are invited to come to school
and see the spectacle. Details will be forthcoming.
Our school’s enrollment increased enough this year that we were
able to add another session of afternoon kindergarten. Thank you to all
the students and parents who helped to make this transition a smooth one.
This was a needed adjustment and will be a great benefit to all the kindergarten
students.
Please look for changes with the school parking lot to happen at the end
of October. A plan is being formed by the community council and will be
distributed and publicized in the coming weeks. It is a needed change
to make the parking lot a safer place for our children. Thank you to all
parents and volunteers that have made the start to the 2009-10 school
year a tremendous success!
Sincerely,
Andy Carbaugh
