Uintah School District is giving credit where credit is due by sharing the amazing accomplishments of students during this last year of change and challenges. “Many of our clubs accomplished amazing feats of charity while having to socially distance, sanitize and reduce risk,” shared Uintah School District. “National Honor Society brought in 3,400 items for Backpack Buddies and staffed an all-day food drive at the Ashley Valley Food Pantry. DECA created Thanksgiving baskets for shut-in families and fundraised for a former UHS teacher. Uintah FFA Chapter helped three local families during the holidays and assisted with the Farmers Feeding Utah Program, helping over 800 families receive food. Even with all the setbacks of the pandemic, our students know how to persevere, serve others, and achieve. Our broadcasting students put in a lot of extra hours working with V6 Media to provide live streaming to anyone who could not attend a sporting event, becoming the first UHS broadcasting team. Three UHS students made it into the top three winner’s bracket of the American Mathematics Exam. Twenty-five students competed in the State Science Competition, and UHS scored 1st in building events. Our TSA/Robotics Clubs, utilizing new equipment, built five different Vex robots for their competitions this year. Both the Math and Science clubs continued their Study with a Buddy program, tutoring their peers. Our athletics, band, choir, and theatre carried on, all looking different than anticipated, with each season bringing amazing memories and accomplishments.” What great examples of perseverance and resilience set by the youth of the Uintah Basin!
