Huge shout-out to Mrs. Amanda Gunnels for her hard work and creativity for writing and being awarded a Bright Ideas Grant for our project, "A Closer Look at Agriculture!"
Thanks to this grant, students will use microscopes to explore the hidden world of agriculture - from examining soil and seeds to observing tiny living organisms up close. These hands-on discoveries will help our young scientists connect what they see in the classroom to the natural world around them.
Thank-you to Southern Rivers for this Bright Ideas grant to support innovative learning opportunities for our students.

Last year, we started a project that quickly grew into a heartwarming experience for everyone involved. We are excited to continue this meaningful project for the 25-26 school year. Each grade level at ULPS has adopted a local nursing home, building connections through letters, craft, and acts of kindness. This meaningful project teaches students the value of caring for others and shows how even small gestures can bring joy to both the giver and the receiver. Our royal students are learning that kindness truly makes a difference!
