Upchurch Elementary

A Message from Mrs. Harrahill

Upchurch families,

We are continuing to work on displaying the six pillars of character at school: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Today we celebrated with these ten students whose names were drawn for pizza with the principal! We are proud of all of our students that earned frog awards this past month, and the Upchurch staff appreciates all parents continuing to reinforce and encourage these character traits at home as well.

Have a great weekend,

Lindsey Harahill
