Wizard Hats are given throughout UPark to celebrate students' good choices and positive behavior.

These children are photographed and receive a token of our appreciation.

*At the end of each month we will be donating all clothing in the lost and found and anything left in the halls(all clothing will go into our little red school house in our parking lot).
