Test Text. This is not an emergency.


Let the countdown to middle school BEGIN!

Each year during the UpStreet Bucket List Challenge, our 5th graders count down their final weeks in UpStreet (and elementary school) together.

Over the course of these twelve weeks, 5th graders will have the opportunity to complete an UpStreet Bucket List.
The more things they check off and accomplish off the list, the more prizes they win!  From special Sunday events,
to large group games, to parties...kids will not only have a blast, but will learn some foundational truths along the way.

For more information, please contact our Children's Director, Rachel Anderson, at [email protected].

Come & See.
