Umpire would like to give a big shout out to some hardworking staff members. March 31st was National School Librarian day, and we are so thankful for Mrs. Karla Bray and all the works she puts into this school and our students. April 1st was National Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, and our school couldn't run without the help of Mrs. Sherri McCarley, Mrs. Jennifer Jester, and Mr. Royce Pate. They all go above and beyond for our students.

Mr. Magic Buffy Coleman visited the Umpire campus today to share some wisdom and motivation---and a some awesome ball handling skills! Mr. Magic played with the Harlem Wizards, and now he travels the country to speak to students about working hard to achieve their dreams!
