Will your grade get the na na nana bragging rights?

The annual UCAS talent show will be held on Dec. 20th, the day after final exams conclude. Each campus will have their own talent show, and tryout dates will be announced soon. We have a lot of very talented students and we love to see what they can do! Start preparing now. Groups and individuals are welcome to tryout.

Are you looking for a service opportunity? On Friday, January 24th , from 4:30 to 7, at Cherry Hill Elementary School in Orem, UVU will be having a family fun night focused on having students do fun math activities with their families. The goal is to help families see that math can be fun! UVU is looking for volunteers to help run stations where students and families will get to engage in fun mathematics activities. They would also need help setting up before the activity and probably with some clean-up.

Volunteers would be helping facilitate fun mathematical activities at various stations. They have some activities planned out, but if there are activities that students at UCAS want to do, they would love that!

If you are interested, UVU needs a firm commitment by December 10th. To volunteer, email Dr. Michael Gundlach at Michael.Gundlach@uvu.edu. Make sure to let him know you are a UCAS student or parent.

It is almost time for our Winter Dance. The theme this year is The Polar Pajamboree and you can wear your pajamas for this fun dance - dress code does still apply. The dance will be Friday, December 6 on the Orem Campus. Get your date or friend group ready. Tickets go on sale Dec. 2 and are $5/person.

Found!! - one gold hoop earring. Please bring the matching earring to claim it.

Please label coats and lunchboxes with your student's name. That way we can return items to their owner instead of donating them when they have been forgotten and left behind in the lunchroom for too long.

Upcoming Falcon Fridays: 11/15 - Musical Chairs, 12/13 - Gaga Ball

Student Drop Off and Pick up instructions: Please be aware that the streets in front of the building on either side of the parking stalls are two way streets. Please do not park in a way that obstructs the flow of traffic. With several businesses in the area, they are not limited to a one way flow for pick up or drop off. As you are dropping off or picking up students, please pull forward to the picnic table area in order to accommodate more vehicles. Drivers, look both ways for pedestrians coming from either direction before you proceed. Let's keep our students safe!!
