Mrs. Bednarek's 5th grade math classes learned how to calculate the volume of composite figures while creating a "Volume Zoo". Their animals turned out amazing!

The "Teacher/Staff Pie In The Face" assembly was so much fun. Ms. Gabinski, Mr. Bing, Ms. Santarelli, and Mr. Hansen had a lot of whip cream to deal with this afternoon. Afterwards, students went outside to enjoy popsicles in the nice 70 degree weather and a little free time with their classmates. It was another awesome day at UGES!!!

PTO is looking for parents to help with coverage for recess on Friday, May 10th to give teachers a break from recess and to allow them to enjoy a staff appreciation luncheon.

4th graders in Ms. Tenhagen and Mrs. Orcutt’s class are studying static electricity-these two students helped demonstrate how “unlike charges attract!!"

It was an awesome day! Mr. Hansen and all of the students had a great time with "Principal on the Roof Day." Here's Mr. Hansen greeting Ms. Storm-Voltz's 4K P.M. class and hanging out with 8th grade for a little outdoor break in the nice weather. Thank you to Student Council for organizing this fun event and to all of the students and families who donated food items to the Union Grove Food Bank!

Another tough day at the office for principal Hansen.

Mr. Hansen sure has a nice bird's-eye view of everything happening around UGES today! Meanwhile, Ms. Effinger's 1st grade class stopped outside to see how he's doing and to give a quick wave.

Today is the day Mr. Hansen will be working from the roof of UGES. Here he is waving to parents and students bright and early at 7:30 a.m. to start the school day. Hope he brought his sunscreen with.
