The Urey Family brought in over 500 toys for the toy drive this year. Here is a picture of Lyric Rivera and her dad, who works for Polygon. Polygon collected 54 toys for us in a couple days. They want to start partnering with us on all of our drives and fundraisers:)
A huge thank you to Mr. Stanley and his students for building and delivering six new picnic tables to the STEM lab at Urey Middle School to be used for an outdoor classroom! The high school students did a fantastic job and these tables will be used for years to come.
I am so proud to represent Urey MS, the wonderful staff, students, and community, the great programs, and many wonderful opportunities for kids to choose. Being considered as one of best 8 Principals in Indiana speaks highly of the hard work completed and ongoing at JGSC and at UMS. I am blessed, this being a third selection. A special thank you to my wife Danielle for years of support, and my boys Mason & Lucas for allowing me to dedicate a great deal of time to my career.

Over the Top Bakery Cafe is graciously starting an Adopt a Teacher program! Not only can we support our favorite teachers and staff but we can support their bakery. This runs all school year!
Recently we had students take the time to "say thank you to staff" for caring & making a positive difference in their lives. A group of students wanted to thank Mr. Goewert and Mrs. Reynolds for the daily positive vibe they bring to Urey every day. They are role models for the staff & students to 'Grow Forward'. Everyone makes mistakes but it's okay to show grace and learn and thus grow forward. UMS is a great school because of many people. Thank you to our building leaders! Falcon Proud !

IDOE's Literacy Center is pleased to announce the 72 awardees for the competitive 2023-2024 Science of Reading Grant.
