Dear Urbana Elementary School Community,
As we close out the 2018-2019 school year, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of our volunteers, teachers, and parents for an amazing year. Because of our UES community’s fundraising and volunteer efforts, we were able to offer an action-packed year filled with many educational and exciting events.
Family Engagement Events like Ice Cream Social, Grandparents Breakfast, Donuts with Dad, Morning with Mom, The Boo-Hoo Yahoo, Kindergarten Play Dates, and the 5th Grade Party.
School Programs like Character Counts, the Artist in Residence Program, the Mobile Agricultural Lab, UES PTA Presents: School Production (Oz), Reflections, Literacy Night, the Science Fair, After-school Clubs, Garden Club, The Book Fair and Book Exchange (Spring and Fall), Health and Wellness Activities, and the UES Wetlands.
Family Nights like the Movie - Night, Game Night, Screen Free Week Activities, Frederick KEYS game, MAC Night, and Bingo.
Community Appreciation and Charity Events like the Spring Fling, The Snow Ball, and the Blood Drive.
We were able to provide support to our students, staff, and families.
Monetary support for Field Trips, Scholarships, Agendas, Folders, and Teacher/Departmental Grants.
Purchased and Updated Classroom Technology and Subscriptions. PTA funds allow the entire school to access Brain Pop Jr, Razz Kids, and the license for watching movies.
Appreciation Meals and Gifts for Staff and Bus Drivers Throughout the Year and during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Spirit Wear, Kindergarten Welcome Shirts and Promotional Items.
Assemblies and Workshops for Students and Parents!
Birthday Treat for Every Student and the Birthday Bulletin Board.
We received amazing support from our local businesses and community. I would like to thank our corporate sponsors and donors; especially Bar-T, Stacy Delisle: Realtor, and Kiddie Academy Urbana.
Don’t forget PTA memberships must be renewed each fall. Joining PTA is not a commitment to volunteering (although volunteering is a big part of what we do). Your membership means you believe in UES, and its staff and students. PTA members ensure EVERY student will thrive and have amazing opportunities all school year. Please join us again, or consider joining if you haven’t been a member yet. You can stay in touch with us this summer on www.uespta.org.
It has been a pleasure serving as your PTA President these last 2 years. I am grateful to have worked so closely with you and your children and I continue to be so proud of this crowd. Have a fantastic summer and I can’t wait to see you all again in the Fall.
Best Wishes,
Rachel White, PTA President 2017-2019
