Attention 5th grade parents... If your student no longer wants the foot charms they have earned during the Walkathon and Mileage Club, please consider recycling them back to us. A recycle box for the foot charms will be placed in the office until the end of the year. Please bring in all unwanted charms and we’ll clean them up and use them for future years. Thank you!

Please join us on Tuesday, May 21st at 7 p.m.

Other PTO News
Hello 5th Grade Parents-Soon to be Middle Schoolers!  

My name is Cindy Igoe and I am the current PTO President at Upton.  This is my last year at Upton for a while but I wanted to share how much I've enjoyed volunteering here.  From coordinating the few committees that we have to selling spirit wear and working with the counselors and teachers, Upton is a great place to dedicate a few hours of time during the school year.  Even though your student is heading on to bigger things in middle school they still need your presence and volunteering is a good way to do that and still give them their space to grow.  

On May 30th 11:30-12:30 we will be having our last UPTO meeting of this school year at Upton in the conference room.  At this time we will be confirming our board members for next year and voting on our budget.  All are welcome to join and see what we're about!  Please email me if you have any questions or are interested in a board position for next year.  cindyigoe@yahoo.com

Current positions:
President
Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer
Class Representatives (6th, 7th, 8th)

Mike Wagner Memorial Account @ Sports 44 Any student who needs financial assistance with sporting equipment or clothing, please consider shopping at Sports 44. There is a Mike Wagner Memorial account set up, intended to cover the cost of whatever is needed (Mr. Wagner was a huge sports fan and this would make him happy). Please ask for Chris, the owner, and he will make sure you are taken care of. And special thanks to many people who have donated items to the store in care of the memorial.
