From the Student Council
Dear Parents/Guardians of UPark Students,
Every month Student Council will put together a newsletter informing families of events and activities. To begin, in the month of November we put together a spirit week. Thank you to everybody who participated and we look forward to planning more spirit weeks in the future. We also planned a tolerance activity for fifth grade during lunch. Students and teachers sat at different lunch tables and the purpose of this activity was for students to meet new people and step out of their comfort zone. We are looking forward to doing this for every grade as the year goes on. Finally, in the month of December, we are going to work on planning a winter clothing drive that will take place in January.
Thank you,
UPark Student Council

Drop Off & Pick Up Safety: Champion the Effort
Drop off and pick up safety in and around the school is of the utmost importance to the entire UPark community. We are looking for someone to be a representative of the school and work with the University Park Community Council (UPCC), the City of Denver, our immediate school community and nearby residents to look at safer ways to approach this topic and be a voice/representative of the school when/if the City has
plans to make changes to our immediate area. If interested, email
andvrc@aol.com.

Recycled Ornament Challenge
The Student Green Team challenges the UPark community to create winter decorations using only recycled materials!
Through December, students may hang 1 ornament made with recyclables in the lobby outside the main office. Students should write their name and room number on the ornament and on the grade level list next to the tree, then hang the ornament in their grade level area of the tree, Kindergarten through 5th.
Weather permitting, the "Maker" Cart will also be a place to create a decoration with recyclable. Student Green Team members will judge ornaments and give out prizes for each grade level.
