Dear UACS families,


What an exciting yet unprecedented summer it has been! We would like to wish everyone a safe, healthy, and joyful final week of UACS cyber summer camp programming. Thank you to all the students, families, teachers, coaches, and coordinators who made this summer possible, who stayed flexible and optimistic in a truly unprecendented time. Your spirit is what makes us great! We look forward to sharing information soon about our fall UACS programs. Until then! 

Wishing you good health

🌟Student Creations Highlight🌟
This week we are sharing student creations! The two top photos, "Hear Me Roar," and "I'm Super Me," are from 2nd and 3rd grade campers who made art this summer with Ms. Harley. The bottom left photo is from a Family Fun Night where campers like Jennie Davis made healthy lion snacks using graham crackers, pretzels, and peanut butter. The bottom right photo is from 3rd grade, where campers created a rainbow-like collar necklace inspired by artwork from the Maasai Tribe in Kenya, East Africa.
