Kindness Club at UES is a group that meets once a month on Wednesdays after school from 3-4pm in the school library. Our mission is to spread kindness throughout our school community, and beyond. We start each meeting with a light snack, and discussion, and spend the rest of our meeting time engaged in a kindness project. Learners sign-up for each individual meeting that they are able to attend.

Any student in 2nd-4th grade is welcome to attend. Sign Up Here for the January 17th meeting.

Picture retake day is on Monday, January 22nd ! If you didn’t order pictures the first time around you still have time. Go to mylifetouch.com and use the picture ID code: EVTXCPBFB. If you are retaking your photo, the entire original package (and envelope) needs to be returned to the photographer on picture day. Lifetouch cannot exchange your order with the retake picture until the original order has been returned. For families that ordered a digital download only, Lifetouch will see that a digital download was originally ordered and a replacement download will be sent if a new photo is taken.
