From the Upton PTO

 

Dear Parents,


It’s hard to believe we’re entering into the second half of the school year already!

 

The Upton PTO (UPTO) is actively looking to fill 3 spots on their board as these dedicated volunteer’s students are graduating in June.

 

Please consider being a part of your student’s middle school experience!

 

 

Bucks for Brown is Looking Ahead

We are looking for a few more people to round out our Bucks for Brown committee.  These roles would be in planning next year’s event and helping secure business sponsors for next year.  

We also are looking for a couple of people who would be interested in heading up the spring picnic together.  This year would be spent working with the current chair, and next year the new leads would take over.

If you are interested in either committee, please contact Sheri Baker or Kristen Bawks.

 

A special thank you goes out to our Popcorn Friday volunteers!
We appreciate you!
