Last week, Miss Kaufman's Math classes reviewed concepts for a Math test participating in a scavenger hunt!
7th grade parents, students in Mrs. Dancer's class were working on blackout poetry. Blackout poetry is when students choose a piece of text where blocking out words from a page of text to create their own poetry and art!
7th grade parents- students in Mrs. Pitchfords class were discussing a book using the Socratic Seminar method. This is a structured conversation that students facilitate through open-ended questioning, listening carefully to one another, sharing their thoughts, and making meaning together integrating real world issues with recent literature that the students just read.
ATHLETIC REMINDERS
To help us celebrate our winter sports athletes, coaches, and teams, the USHS Athletic Department and the USHS Student Athlete Leadership Team will be hosting a "Meet the Teams Night" on Friday, November 22nd in the USHS gymnasium starting at 7:00 PM. This mini Ram Rumble style event will be open to the community with concessions, games, and interactions with the USHS winter sports athletes. So bring the family out for this event and help us get our winter sports season started with enthusiasm. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the USHS Athletic Department. Go Rams and Lady Rams!
The USHS Athletic Department in conjunction with the Rams Athletic Boosters is excited to introduce the Jackpot Ball Drop. The way it works is simple: buy a ball, get entered, and wait for the big drop. Once a ball is purchased, it will get numbered and put into the bag. Once all the balls have been sold, they will be dropped at the conclusion of one of our home basketball games. The ball that lands closest to the center court mark will win $500! It’s that simple. There are 100 balls available for purchase and each ball is $20 a piece and can be purchased at the USHS main office any time during the school day. The contest will end as soon as all balls are purchased. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to support USHS athletics and win some cash at the same time. Please contact the USHS Athletic Department if you have any questions. Thanks in advance for your continued support.
RAM PRIDE!
ATTENTION: USHS boys basketball reserved seating tickets are in. If you ordered reserved seating tickets for this upcoming season, you can stop by the USHS main office during school hours (8:00-3:00) this week and pick them up. If you are unable to pick up your tickets at the office they will be available at the gate prior to the first game. If you would still like to purchase reserved basketball seating, there are still plenty of seats available so stop by the USHS office and choose your seats. If you have any questions, please contact the USHS Athletic Department.

Dear Parents:
We just wanted to let you know that there was malfunctioning heater in Ms. Faeth's (3rd grade classroom). It was discovered before students were in the building. The custodial staff are working on fixing the heater. We have moved the students to another classroom until it's fixed and the classroom is ready for students to return.
Sincerely,
Dr. Watson, Mrs. Parrott and Mr. Dible
What a wonderful Veterans Day program for our local Veterans!! Here are just a few pictures from today!

Just a friendly reminder about our Veteran's Day program tomorrow.
From USEVS: On Monday, November 11th our entire school district is having a Veterans Day assembly program at the high school. Non high school students will be bussed to USHS starting around 8.00am. The assembly will be student-led and K-12 students will sing songs, read essays and thank veterans for their service to our country. Students will start to be bussed back to their home schools starting at 10am. Elementary students (K-5) will be wearing the color blue while 6-8 will wear the color red and 9-12 will wear white. Thank you so much for your support of our district and veteran community.
