Dear Parents,
Where has the year gone???
Spring is blooming at Uintah as well as the many adventures yet to be had. SAGE
testing in grades 3-6 begins when we return from spring break. Students will begin
first with the Writing segment then Language Arts, Math and Science. Teachers
have been diligently preparing students for this end of year state assessment. You
can help at home by ensuring that your child has plenty of rest, enjoys a good breakfast and is on time to school. Please avoid student absences if at all possible.
Other noteworthy events that are being prepared for are the Shakespeare performances, Choir, Band and Orchestra concerts and the Math Science Olympiad. We are
fortunate to have so many opportunities for building Mustang pride in our school.
Plans are being put into place for the last Book Fair, PTA Fun Run and Field Day. We
are so appreciative of the many events made possible for kids on behalf of such terrific volunteers. Every effort is noted. We give a huge shout out to
this year's PTA Co-Presidents Pamela Richins and Charee McKay,
along with their amazing board members. We thank them and their
families for their endless hours and devotion.
Please join us in helping all students finish the year strong!
It is my privilege to be a part of such a fabulous community.
Principal Joanne Hobbs

A Note from the PTA...

Hello Mustangs! Spring has sprung! We hope all students and staff enjoy spring break and take some time to stop and smell the flowers!
As school starts winding down here at Uintah, we will be busy with
some fun activities. We have Book Fair, Walk-a-Thon, field trips,
staff appreciation and field day, just to name a few. Please look
for more information to come on all of these events and opportunities to volunteer at each one.
Many thanks to all those who helped with Dr. Seuss day. Jill
Smith, Sarah Empey and Diana Dillingham did a great job putting it all
together and we had many moms and dads help us out that morning. So
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! These events wouldn't be
possible without the hard work and dedication of
our many Uintah parent volunteers!

Annual... Walk-A-Thon
Our annual Walk-a-Thon fundraiser is coming up and
our kick off assembly will be held on Friday, May 5th.
This is the PTA's primary fundraiser and generally
raises enough funds to cover all the activities that
the PTA sponsors each school year. We'll be encouraging each student to raise at least $25. If they do,
we'll be able to fulfill our fundraising goals that will
benefit staff, students, and parents! Stay tuned for
additional Walk-A-Thon information to be sent home.
The PTA is always grateful for the kind and generous support of Uintah
parents and staff!

Volunteer Hours
Please don’t forget to record your volunteer hours on the clipboards
throughout the school. You can claim any hours spent volunteering in
the classroom, helping at home, working on PTA projects, attending
field trips or participating in classroom parties. Please also claim your
babysitter’s donated time. This information is important because it is
how our PTA earns their non-profit status. We know you are volunteering the hours, please make sure you are recording the hours. The more
hours the better!
