We are all grateful for a successful and fun Walk-A-Thon at UPE this week. It did not snow…and everyone had a marvelous time walking together, connecting, and enjoying our mountain air.

Our PTO has emerged from our Pandemic Years with amazing energy and a vision for an inspired future. It takes strong, loving leadership to draw others in to create something new for children and families - and you all have that leadership right now! A huge thank you to Amanda McCloskey and all the current PTO and future PAC Members (PTO is now Parent Action Committee!). Please consider joining this dedicated group of people who support our children and wonderful teachers!

Dear Ute Pass Elementary Parents and Students,

I am thrilled to announce the return of the UPE Variety Show! Any Ute Pass student is welcome to participate in the Variety show, but they need to have something they have practiced and prepared. Students could sing, dance, do gymnastics, play an instrument, etc. I will be talking with the kids in class and I will help them prepare for the performance. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you want to inform me of your student’s participation. Acts with inappropriate material will not be included in the show.

Ute Pass Variety Show Schedule
Tuesday May 24th – Variety Show Rehearsal – 3:00-4:30 – Students are not required to be

there the whole time. As soon as we run their act they can leave with a parent.

Wednesday, May 25th – Variety Show – 6:00 – 7:30

Thanks, and let me know if you have questions or concerns!

Mr. Ferguson iferguson@mssd14.org

Please look under the bed, in between the couch cushions or wherever else a library book might hide and bring it back to school asap!

We do not charge fines for lost or damaged library books but we sure love receiving donations to purchase new books for everyone to check out.
