Spring break has begun for our Uplift scholars. The break allows scholars, faculty staff and leaders to recharge and get ready for the last couple of weeks of school. Remember that all campuses and the Central Management Office will be closed during the week of Spring Break March 14-18.
There are activities taking place throughout the metroplex during March 14-18.
The Dallas Public libraries have several events planned during the week for all ages. Click here for information on location and time.
