2015-2016 THEME: "HAVE THE COURAGE TO SUCCEED!"
This Week's "UB Special" Award!
This week's "UB Special" Award goes to ROXIE MULHOLLAND.
Roxie is highly-motivated, active Senior who has applied to several colleges, has already been accepted to two, and eagerly awaiting notification in April from her top pick! Everybody keep your fingers crossed! She has completed her FAFSA and preparing for solo ensemble the end of April. Roxie looks for opportunities and applies herself eagerly. Most recently she won her prom dress and a photography package after entering a "Pretty for Prom" contest. She is ending her Senior year on lots of high notes, which is so deserving because of her positive outlook on things. She is truly a blessing to others! Please help us in congratulating Roxie as recipient of this week's "UB Special" Award.
Birthday this Week!
Abby, we hope your birthday is out of this world (a little astrophysics talk)! ENJOY!
