September Edition

It's Fair to Say—We’re "Wild" About the Fair!

Umpire students proudly participated in the Howard County Fair in Nashville, showcasing their hard work and dedication. Several students exhibited their goats and pigs, demonstrating their knowledge and care for their animals, while others presented a captivating social studies project on the Summer Olympics. We're incredibly proud of their efforts and the way they represented our school and community!

Grandparents Day: Cherishing Generations Together

GP1

Umpire Elementary had a wonderful Grandparents Day, full of love and learning! Mrs. Stephens, our principal, shared helpful tips on how grandparents can be involved in their grandchildren's school success, supporting both education and social skills. Students created special crafts for their grandparents, and one of our talented students read a heartfelt poem dedicated to her grandparents. A big thank you to all the amazing grandparents who joined us and continue to support our Wildcats!

We are thrilled to congratulate the Umpire Cross Country team for successfully competing in their very first meet of the season at Acorn High School! Our students showed incredible determination and perseverance as they ran in the senior category of the 2-mile race, facing competitors from across the state—and even from Louisiana! We are proud of their hard work and dedication, and we look forward to cheering them on in future events. Keep up the great work, Umpire Wildcats!

At the Umpire Campus, we’re proud to see our Wildcats demonstrating school spirit through a variety of activities! Students are engaging in exciting literacy and math lessons that spark curiosity and build essential skills. In science lab, they’re conducting hands-on experiments that make learning fun and interactive. We were thrilled to support our community by hosting a blood drive in September—donating is a great way to give back! Plus, several of our students have earned their HIPAA certifications, enhancing their knowledge in privacy and healthcare regulations. Wildcat pride is in full swing this year!
