Umpire Game Day vs Nevada


Ms. Laken’s FACS class at Umpire has been busy learning all about the 6 essential nutrient groups, and today they took their knowledge to the next level with presentations!



Our Umpire art students had an amazing time creating self-portraits like never before! Using page protectors, they “painted in reverse,” starting with their portrait and working backwards. Each artist added an abstract painting in complementary colors as a vibrant background to complete their masterpieces!
