Ms. Mindy's 3 year old preschool class has been exploring colors using their five senses! "Orange Day" was filled with sensory play, orange show-and-tell, and an orange-themed snack!
Upsala 7th grader Jaiden Oldakowski has been battling cancer for the last 10 months. We are incredibly happy to share that Jaiden received his final chemotherapy treatment yesterday!
Throughout this difficult journey, Jaiden has shown tremendous strength, courage, and determination. Despite undergoing 43 chemotherapy treatments and 30 radiation treatments, Jaiden continued coming to school and even managed to play football this fall—an incredible example of perseverance and resilience.
To celebrate Jaiden and recognize the fight he has shown over the past year, all students and staff are encouraged to wear green and yellow this Friday in support of Jaiden.
We are so proud of you Jaiden! 💚💛
