St. Joseph High School News 2/1/21 - 2/5/21 Upton Middle School News:  With the sad news of Mr. Leonard’s passing, it has come to our attention from talking with our students throughout the day that Mr. Leonard had a Wednesday tradition.  He would always wear orange to school on Wednesdays and this day became known as “Orange Wednesday”.  So, our students proposed an idea and we are encouraging students and staff, both at Upton and the HS, that wish to honor Mr. Leonard to wear orange to school tomorrow.  The students and staff have responded remarkably well to this tragic loss to our school community and I expect we will see a sea of orange tomorrow in our buildings tomorrow.  Picture Retake Day:  Is scheduled for this Thurs. 2/4 from 7:45am to 10:00.  Students will be called down to the Performing Arts lobby by grade for picture retakes.  Here is the link to order: http://www.geskusphoto.com/?A=3714 Technology News:  Attention Parents:...
