Have you remembered to cut box tops this year?  They can be deposited in the Box Tops for Education jar in the office.  Box tops and reusable grocery cards are two completely free ways to raise money for UPark!

Thank You

 

Dear University Park Community,

A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in the 2014 Adopt-A-Family Program! We had a significant number of families in need this year and the response of our community was amazing- 21 families were provided for this holiday season. The generosity of our community overwhelms me every year!

Thank you.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER AT 
 University Park Elementary

The place where students are inspired, engaged, and having fun!


 

  

Are you passionate about the Neighborhood Center program here at UPark? If so, we are looking for volunteers for the newly formed Neighborhood Center Committee! With our growing and expanding program, we would like to reach out to you and ask for your input on the Neighborhood Center.

Our first meeting will take place on Saturday February 7th. This meeting will start 10:30am and end no later than 1:30pm in the UPark Library. Lunch provided! Your valuable input will help with the direction of our program and identify areas where the Neighborhood Center can expand further into the community. Here are the goals we will focus on during the meeting, and volunteers will receive supplemental information and an agenda for the meeting.

 

Goal 1: Increase understanding of a comprehensive Neighborhood Center

 

Goal 2: Based on the Neighborhood Center model, community needs and goals, prioritize University Park's Neighborhood Center expansion opportunities

 

Goal 3: Create a framework for summer learning programs at U Park

 

Goal 4: Create a vision and begin to strategize for U Park's top priority Neighborhood Center expansion in 2015-2016

Green Team News

 

 

The STUDENT GREEN  TEAM asks you to change 1 thing because we care about our Earth.

Every Wednesday is now WASTE FREE Wednesday.  Please do not send your child with plastic bags and wrappers that can't be reused. Please use reusable containers in your lunch, instead of baggies.

We are doing this so UPark families will put less trash in our world. When we put things in the garbage they go to the landfill or dump and make dangerous gases that hurt our air, our water and the Earth we live on. We care and we want you to, also.

Contact Ms. Cardenas to be involved.

Our next Student Green Team meeting is Thursday, January 22 at 12:00pm in room 116.
