Awesome Opportunity-
Did you see the Saturday Herald Palladium front page? :) Some of Upton musicians had the opportunity to hear Ifetayo Ali-Landing play music, sing-along, and ask questions. Ifetayo is a professional cellist who is only 16 years old, and she is a phenomenal talent! We would like to thank Mr. Lokey for making this possible!

Careful driving-
As the weather starts to get worse the amount of parent drop-offs increase at Upton Middle School. Please remember to take your time, never pass another car on the left or right, and stress to your daughter/son to get out on the curb side whenever possible. We really want to make sure that everyone arrives and leaves carefully.
