Elizabeth Gousetis-
In yesterday's Herald Palladium Upton Middle School 8th grader Elizabeth Gousetis was recognized for her baking skills. Elizabeth won several awards at the youth fair this summer. The article does a great job of talking about the family tradition in the family! The article appears on the front page of the Food section. Great job Elizabeth!
Fish Hatchery/Water Plant Chaperones-
We are looking for chaperones for our Salmon in the Classroom field trip on October 25th. We will leave Upton at 8:00am and head to the Water Filtration Plan here in St. Joseph and the Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Mattawan, and then return to Upton by 2:30 pm. It is a great field trip which the kids really enjoy, and we need as many parents as possible to make our day a success. Please let me know if you are willing & able to chaperone. All chaperones need to complete a Volunteer Consent Form and have it submitted to the office by September 25th.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
