Springtime Beauty Thanks to Ms. A’s Class!
At the start of spring, Ms. A’s class at Umpire Elementary got their hands dirty pruning and caring for the flowers in front of the elementary building. Now, thanks to their hard work and green thumbs, those flowers are blooming beautifully!
Check out these before-and-after shots of their garden efforts — what a difference a little care can make!

Umpire Field Day Fun!
Umpire Schools had an action-packed Field Day filled with exciting games and activities that challenged both the body and mind! From relay races to brain teasers, our students gave it their all while having tons of fun.
