Check out Mrs. Pope's 2nd Grade class having fun doing math! They were all using different strategies to match different forms of numbers.
Our 6th Annual Family Engagement Night will be Thursday, November 21, from 5-7 PM at the UL Agriculture Center. We can't wait to see you there!
This Veterans Day, our Physical Education department has done a fantastic job incorporating meaningful activities that honor our veterans while also promoting fitness and teamwork among students. Their lesson included the significance of our flag and the values it represents. The various stations were designed not only to provide a fun and challenging workout but also to instill an understanding of this lesson. Our PE coaches created 6 different stations which consisted of the following:
1. The Army Crawl, where students simulate basic training by crawling low to the ground, learning to navigate under the “Critical Zone.”
2. The Quick Steps/Basic Training station, students enhance their agility and coordination by running through ladders and agility hoops, mimicking the drills used in military training.
3. The Ride The Jeep station has students utilizing scooters to navigate a circular or oval-shaped track, pretending they are in a military vehicle, while adhering to safety guidelines by keeping their hands inside the scooter handles.
4. The Take Flight station, students elevate pool noodles above their heads and run around cones, turning their “propellers” to improve balance and coordination.
5. The Parachute Play station emphasizes teamwork, as students work together to keep a parachute filled with air, fostering communication and collaboration akin to military camaraderie.
6. An Obstacle Course that challenges students to complete various physical tasks, mirroring the rigorous training military personnel undergo.
Through these stations, students not only enhance their physical abilities but also deepen their understanding and appreciation of the sacrifices made by our veterans, creating a meaningful connection between fitness and respect for service.
ULPS would like to take a moment to thank all of the parents, teachers, and businesses that donated candy for our Character Book Parade on November 1st. We are truly blessed to have such amazing support from our staff and community.

We are inviting our students to participate in our staff dress up days after Thanksgiving. Please do not feel like you have to purchase things to participate. Many of the days are simply wearing different colors. If you don't have something for your child to wear that matches the theme, substitute a festive tshirt.
Several students have been saving their Royal Coins and finally cashed them in to PIE Mr. Kirby and Mrs. Rec! A good time was had by all!
