Students stay UP All Night during urban campus campout

The University Park Preschool Association held its first UP All Night, a father and child urban campout, at  UP Elementary April 12. Dads and children set up their tents on the UP lawn in the afternoon and enjoyed activities across the street at Curtis Park. The children loved fishing, the climbing wall, hamster wheel and bounce houses. Later, dinner was served and the children had a pajama dance party until dark. In the morning, campers enjoyed donuts and breakfast tacos before packing up their campsites. The event was a huge success due to the hard work by event chairs Amy Pollard, Marcy Simmons, Elisabeth McHugh and Laura Saunders, and by next year's chairs Emily Lewin, Annie Stock, and Ashley Hughes and UPPA President-Elect Amanda Cejika.
