We would like to congratulate Mrs. Malone for receiving a grant from The Cheryl Lyn Welter Charitable Foundation for our students! We were one of three schools who received this grant. Mrs. Malone is a great advocate for her students here at UTMS. She doesn’t stop at just teaching, she does so much more for our students. Mrs. Malone is a co-sponsor for the Jr. Honor Society, coaches HS bowling, and helps out our elementary schools in many ways. She is always visible at sporting events either as a fan or taking tickets at the game. Her hard work and dedication to our students definitely doesn't go unnoticed.
Thank you Mrs. Malone for all you do for our students!

Words are very powerful. Words can both do good and cause harm. The last few months Ms. Lucas had her students use their words to good for something that doesn’t have a voice. Since November, Ms. Lucas and her students have been working with the Hobart Humane Society. In December the students wrote persuasive letters to various companies asking for donations to help support the Hobart Humane Society. The students also helped out by volunteering their time to work at the shelter and some of the students actually adopted some of the animals. On March 14th, the Hobart Humane Society came in and collected all the donations that the students received through their letters. The students raised close to $40,000 in donations for the shelter. This achievement is nothing short of amazing. We are all proud of our students and Ms. Lucas for teaching such a powerful lesson. She would like to let anyone who is interested in helping or sharing the information on the free vaccine clinic please see the following attachments. This clinic is one of the donations that was made possible by one of our student’s letters.
Thank you Ms. Lucas for teaching our students and helping our community shelter!

Who remembers doing vocabulary review when you were in school? I seemed to always be the following, “please write down the vocabulary word and write the definition.” Well today in Mrs. Miller’s class they did vocabulary review with a twist. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Tucker were co-teaching a review game where they infused captured the flag. The students were divided up into teams and as a team they would answer questions about vocabulary words, analogies, synonyms, and antonyms. The questions get progressively harder as the game moves on. If the students got the answer correct, they would go to another group and take a flag from that team. The flags however, had values on the backside. The values could be 1 point, 2 points, minus 1 point, minus 2 points, etc. At the end of the review, the team with the most points wins. The students enjoyed this activity and it was a great way to review their vocabulary words.
Thank you, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Tucker, for teaching our students!
