January 3-Tremont Elementary Service Learning Teddy Bear Toss for the Ronald McDonald House at halftime of UA Men's High School Game--more info below

January 7-School Resumes

Please come to Tremont and take a look at our lost and found! There are so many coats, sweatshirts and other random things there!

We will hold our second annual Teddy Bear Toss during the halftime of the UA Men's Basketball game on January 3 starting at 7:30. This Teddy BearToss event is a heartwarming and fun way to raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House.

During this event, participants can bring new teddy bears or stuffed animals to the Upper Arlington High School Gymnasium for the Men's Basketball game. At halftime, participants will throw their teddy bears onto the court. It creates a beautiful and memorable sight as hundreds of teddy bears rain down.

After the toss, the teddy bears are collected and donated to the Ronald McDonald House. This organization then distributes the stuffed animals to children in need, providing comfort and joy during difficult times. We hope this event will raise awareness about the Ronald McDonald House and the important work they do to support families with sick children in keeping families close.

We hope you can join us at the second annual Teddy Bear Toss on January 3rd!

Volunteers Needed for February's Not-So-Silent Social!

Volunteers Needed for this year's auction--formerly known as the Not-So-Silent Auction! The auction will happen in late February, and we are in need of volunteers for the following--please reach out to Meg Terwilliger if you're interested in getting involved! Heymegtwig@gmail.com

1. Classroom Art (1 person): Each classroom is responsible for creating a piece of artwork that is part of the silent auction. Typically, each class has a parent that works with the teacher to manage and complete the art project with the class. This role has been working with each classroom volunteer to make sure each class has a project, the final project is photographed for the auction site and coordinates the 'gallery' at Tremont where all classroom art is displayed the week of the auction. We have guidelines for what the art can/should be, and templates for outreach and management of this effort.

2. Donations (4 people): This year all packages will be pre-established based on most popular packages in past auctions. Each volunteer will be responsible for 6 packages from start to finish. Includes contacting the business/donor for each item in the package, arranging for pickup of items, combining into a package or creating certificates (we have a template), and dropping packages off at Tremont for winners to pick up on Friday of the Not-So-Silent Social. We have a spreadsheet to manage solicitation and donations based on who has donated in the past. Volunteers would be responsible for 'back filling' if a business does not wish to donate again. For example, if Goodie Shop does not want to donate to the birthday party package, the volunteer would need to find a different business to donate a 'sweet treat' for that package.

Register Soon For Winter After School Activities!

Registration is open Now through December 13th. All classes begin the week of January 13th. Please click HERE to view the flyers for details and class descriptions. Contact Leslie Addington (Leslie.addington@gmail.com) with any questions.

Upper Arlington Schools is proud to offer students the ability to travel abroad with their teachers and peers as part of our Global Education Program. As we begin to think about future opportunities within this program, we are inviting students and families currently in grades 5-10 to share some thoughts to inform our travel selections. Students in these grades will be eligible for school-sponsored global travel opportunities in the 2025-2026 school year. Parents/guardians may complete this survey. We invite parents/guardians to preview the student survey before asking your grade 5-10 student(s) to take it at home to share their feedback.

Below are links to both a parent/guardian survey and a student survey. The surveys will close on December 18 at 4 pm.
