“ULS is more than a school. It is a place where my children climb trees, feed chickens, build forts in the woods, hike through beautiful trails, feed birds, cheer on sports teams, watch plays and Pine Rock concerts, participate in after school activities, appreciate nature and the arts, bake, foster friendships, learn about community and gain leadership skills. My children thrive at ULS. ULS is more than a school for us. It’s a place where we feel a sense of belonging. It’s a place where we feel loved. It’s a place where we want to stay.”
