Help Support Lory’s
Place and Honor One of Our Own-
Upton students, staff, and families we have been invited to
participate in the Lory’s Place 5K Walk/Run/Rock event on May 21, 2016 to
support the free bereavement programs and services offered in schools as well
as within the community.
The school that has the most participants will be presented
the “Champions for Children” traveling trophy and bragging rights. Right now the trophy is at St. Joseph High
School. Not only will participants have
fun, represent our school, but also we will be participating in memory of our
very own Madie Flores. The Studio Art
class and student council are working on special t-shirts to be worn at this
event in Madie’s honor.
To sign up, go to www.lorysplace.org
and register. Make sure to designate
that you are representing Upton Middle School.
The sooner you register the cheaper it will be, so don’t wait and
register today. If you prefer a
registration form, one can be picked up in the office. Be sure to complete one form per person. For more information contact Ms. VanderMeulen
or Mrs. Olson.
