U.P.S. WINTER OLYMPICS 2010_winter_olympics_logosvgpn

U.P.S. will be holding its own Winter Olympics on Thursday Feb. 11th in the morning.  Each class has been assigned a country.  Students will learn about their country, their flag, listen to their National Athem, etc.  The entire school will meet together on Thursday Feb. 11th for our own Opening Ceremonies.  We will then spend the rest of the morning competing in various Olympic sports out in the field.  The staff and students are already excited!  Many students will take an active interest in the games when they begin and will cheer for the country their class was assigned.

HEARTS for HAITI

Uxbridge Public School community has been doing their part to raise money for the Haitian community. To date on our 'Toonie Tuesdays' have raised close to $900 dollars, with one more Tuesday to go!  Funds raised will go to the "Me to We" foundation where Craig Keilburger keeps the "Me to We" team and SCC posted on his twitter page.

Funds will be matched dollar for dollar by the federal government.

Thank you to the UPS Community for your assistance in this worthwhile endeavour!!!

You always make UPS a GREAT PLACE TO BE!

H1N1

The best prevention is to cover the cough, wash your hands and stay home when ill.  While the cough may persist, it is recommended that students come back when other symptoms are gone (headache, sore throat, fever, chills, joint pain).
