       I can’t believe it’s December already!  There are so many holidays to learn about and celebrate in UPK.   Learning about our friends special traditions will make the bonds between us grow stronger and help each student learn about cultures that vary from their own.   Children are never too young to explore and enjoy diversity!   
      
      Please refer to our monthly Home-School Connection letter to find out everything we will be working on this month.   Remember that our UPK calendar is often different than the SPS one, so keep it handy!

      Here is a list of snacks that have been approved for distribution on birthdays or holidays.  We will only distribute non-food items or snacks from this list.

                   Hostess Twinkies (plain)
