Soooo Goood!!! The Traditional Authentic Mexican Food truck lunch for our UMS Hawks was a big hit today! Their salsa had a next level kick of spice to it! Huge THANK YOU to the @TheUMS_PTSA for providing us with this fantastic lunch during staff appreciation week.

UMS welcomed the UHS Neck Tie Club members back to the Hawk Nest this morning. First step in joining the UMS Neck Tie Club is learning how to get that tie looking good (they can be tricky). Thanks to @MarcusAllenfcps for being a mentor to a wonderful group of young men!

A big thank you to everyone who made our first #Socktober a success! UMS collected 1,848 pairs of socks to donate to 3 local shelters. Your generosity has warmed the hearts (and feet) of many. One of your best ideas yet @MrsKozimorFCPS. #watchussoar

Loved seeing these responses. I am thankful for a Hawk Talk group with great senses of humor and even better hearts. #WatchUsSoar #UMS #FCPS

@ms_hsquared @WurzbergerFCPS Love everything about these posts @WurzbergerFCPS and @ms_hsquared. I could not agree more! Makes it all worth it.

@WurzbergerFCPS I think my hawk talk kids got me through this week more than I helped them! 💕

I tried a quick Jamboard with my Hawk Talk after our lesson was over, and it really made me smile! What a great note to end our first week on! ❤️#BackToSchool2020 #UMS

Great day at UMS! Customer service is at a premium. Today we welcomed our 75 new enrollees individually. We welcomed families from Oregon, California & Florida. Thank you to the UMS staff working hard to make a difference!
