UBMS Weekly Update
December 9, 2016
UB Special Award
UB Special awards are given to one student each week. Staff recognize a special student who has demonstrated outstanding qualities of leadership, courage, perseverance, ambition, friendship, and/or achievement.
This week's "UB Special" Award goes to DONOVAN COTE!
In addition to bringing his grades up to a point where he isn't required to be at study tables, and taking part in as many learning experiences as he can (including the Pre-Health Professions class), Donovan is a part of Key Club and recently shared that he has more than doubled the amount of service hours than anyone else in club with a whopping total of 13.5 total service hours for one month! Way to go Donovan!
Lunch Visits!
Tracy will be visiting during the lunch hours at:
Fondy High on Monday (12th) and Horace Mann on Tuesday (13th).
Stop by and introduce a friend to UBMS!! Stipend checks will also be available.
