Hello UMS!!! I sure have missed sending out daily messages to everyone but I have tried to give the parents a break! :-)
We return to school on Wednesday and I am very excited about the Spring semester.
Enjoy the last two days of this well-deserved break!
Happy Sunday afternoon, the whole school will go to UVA-Wise for the ballgame tomorrow. UVAW plays Carolina Christian. uvawisecavs.com
1. We will eat lunch before we leave and we will travel by bus.
2. We will return before the afternoon buses.
3. There is no admission fee but kids can go to the concession stand once. They do usually give them a water but I haven't heard that this year.
4. We do allow them to take phones so that they can take a couple of pictures with friends but we don't allow them on the bus or for them to stay on them. They need to watch the game and hang out with friends.
Questions or wanting to opt-out of going? pclendenon@wisek12.org or vwelch@wisek12.org
