We had a great community gathering last night! Thank you to all of the students and parents that came to the school last night. Even the Easter Bunny made an appearance!
What a fun community night! The middle school students were able to show off their great work.
Ms. Nichols' 5th grade students have been learning about the different spheres and how they interact with one another. They made habitats and then the students presented them to our class and told about all of the sphere interactions within their habitats.
Don't forget-- April Community Night starts right now! Join us to celebrate spring with activities and a community meal!
The 8th grade had a great time at the Wayne State College Planetarium on Friday, April 5th. They first went to the A. Jewell Schock Museum of Natural History where they were given a tour by Ms. Kneifl's daughter. The Museum of Natural History houses over 15,000 specimens of birds, mammals, invertebrates, plants and fossils. The Museum was created by Jewell Schock, a former Zoologist at Wayne State College. The students got to see the prep-room where the items that are brought into the museum are prepared for display and they are tagged and documented. Students were allowed to touch the displays and play in the geographic sand table that showed water levels and mountain peaks. There was also a table where students could view snake skins, fossils and other animal and plant objects under a mircroscope. Then the class went to the Fred G. Dale Planetarium and they received a special show about what it takes to be an astronaut to correlate with their previous novel, "Hidden Figures" by Margot Lee Shetterly. Students received a snack, a real shark tooth and a Wayne State College wristband, along with some conservation wildlife buttons, lunch was in the student center, and the class took a break at Bressler Park before returning to school.
Community night tomorrow, Wednesday 4-10 from 4 to 7pm. Join us to celebrate spring with activities and a community meal!
Good luck to our 3rd-5th grade students this week as they begin state assessments. It will surely be a celebration of their learning from this school year. We are so proud of their growth!

UNPS has a partnership with the Kennedy Arts Center. This has granted us recent visits from amazing artists Daniel Martinez (Musician) and Heather Henson, daughter of Jim Henson (Creator of Sesame Street), and artist Renee Saunsoci. Our students are so talented in the ARTS!
