Amy will be stepping in to cover for Mrs. Harrahill during her maternity leave. Please join us in welcoming her!

THANK YOU, LEAPER COMMUNITY!!

Leaper Community,

We are truly moved by the overwhelming generosity demonstrated by your support for our staff holiday countdown. Numerous families have graciously contributed food, gift cards, and delightful treats to bring joy to our dedicated teachers and staff during this bustling season. Your incredible contributions have made a significant impact, and we feel fortunate to have the privilege of being supported by the best parents in our learning community.

Thank you all for being amazing!

CELEBRATING OUR MUSICIANS & MUSIC TEACHERS 

The past few weeks have been filled with captivating performances. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our exceptional teachers, Dr. Jensen, Mrs. Allen, and Mrs. Roland, for their dedication and hard work in nurturing our budding musicians. To the parents, we extend our gratitude for your unwavering support of music education—it's a beautiful gift to our children.

ALL SCHOOL MOVIE - DECEMBER 20TH

Upchurch will host a movie day on Monday, December 20th to celebrate our semester success! We will be streaming the movie through SWANK, our district-approved streaming platform. We will be watching this movie as a class with adult supervision, and we are happy that students have earned this class experience! If you are comfortable with your student watching this movie, you do not need to reach out to us.
