Exciting news @ UMIS! 🎉 Two outstanding students from Ms. Gilman's 5th-grade class are Rendell Center Citizenship Challenge finalists! John Albert and Robert Marino's powerful essay about the importance of the First Amendment earned them a chance to compete at the National Constitution Center in January.
Ms. Gilman's entire class will head down to the Constitution Center to work as a team and give a creative presentation on the winning essay for a chance to win $1,000 for UMIS. Congratulations to John and Robert, and best of luck to Ms. Gilman's class on bringing their essay to life next month! 👏

We concluded the First Trimester at UMIS with our Circle of Excellence ceremony last Friday. During the assembly, we recognized our students who exemplify academic success, social responsibility, and citizenship.
Students took the stage to discuss the pillars of ROAR: Respect, Ownership, Attitude, and Responsibility, symbolized by the lighting of candles. The event featured performances by student musicians, a song and dance routine by Ms. Hunsicker's 5th-grade class, and a rendition of the UMIS school song performed by our 3rd-graders.
Calvin Grasso, a UMIS 3rd-grader, received a special award for his exceptional community service and dedication to "Make Every Kid Happy" during the holidays. 🎁 For the last two years, Calvin has been organizing a toy drive in partnership with the Upper Moreland Township Police Department, benefiting Toys for Tots.
We are SO impressed by all the remarkable achievements of our students! 🤩
