Message from the principal
Students and staff are encouraged to utilize the vast supports and learning opportunities hosted in the UHS LMC. To highlight special events happening, I've included part of Ms. Watson's email sent to UHS staff regarding National Library Week:
"April 9th-13th is National Library Week 2018, when we promote the LMC as a place of learning, engagement, and making connections. The theme this year is "Making Connections" with students, teachers, the community, and the world. We have planned a series of activities (listed below) for students to participate in throughout the week. Additionally, we have a lot of new books ready to check out in the LMC as well.
General Activities: NLW18 coloring pages, puzzle tables, social media challenge, collaborative sticker murals, and more.
*Coloring pages are available for interested Connections groups.
Monday: Connecting with Books - book talks and trailers played all day to promote the new titles recently added to the LMC collection.
