Coding for Kids
In our increasingly tech-driven world, knowing how to code is an invaluable skill, often involving not only programming but also problem solving, logic, physics and more. But kids who code don't really look at it that way - they just think it is fun! Thanks to Mrs. Sandra Ballance, UTS Technology Coordinator, 3rd and 4th graders will have the opportunity to improve all of these skills and utilize their love for technology on Mondays in the Coding for Kids Club.

Mind Your Manners
Under the instruction of our PTA parents, Kara Cherney and Tara Trego, your child will have a chance to learn skills needed to feel self-assured and confident in any social situation. They will learn proper table manners, manners at home, manners when out and about, using kind words and phrases, talking to adults, the importance of eye contact, and treating others and themselves with respect. They will have fun through modeling various social situations and will be ready to shine on “Bring Your Child to Work” day (4/27). You are welcome!

Running Club
We are excited for another session of the Running Club! Building on the success of the previous sessions, children of UTES have another amazing opportunity to get active, have fun and get healthy! Base Camp Athletic Club will again be leaning on the expertise of Dr. Stephanie Charnigo as Head Coach who will help young athletes at UTES develop proper running mechanics and movement (gait analysis, running mechanics, etc.), while balancing training load (distance, volume, frequency, intensity), and fun, to ensure a safe, engaging and age appropriate progression for the late spring PTA race event-Run Like a Tiger. Club meets on Wednesdays. In case of inclement weather, the last make up meeting will happen on Friday, June 2.
