CONGRATULATIONS TO THE UAHS GIRLS SWIM TEAM WHO WON THE STATE TITLE
ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2008!

Congratulations to Jeff Sale who received the 2007 YOUTH Award from the City of Upper of Arlington at the State of the City Address and Community Fair on Monday, January 28th, 2008.

Jeff’s desire to help others through service sets an amazing example for youth in our community. During the summer, Jeff spent time tutoring middle school students. He also completed a service project making the triangular frames for flags awarded to the families of military personnel. The frames were donated to local funeral homes. At the High School, Jeff serves others by volunteering in the office, working as a high school counselor at sixth grade camp and founding and leading the Frisbee Club. Jeff has been a guest speaker in health classes, has planned an assembly for the eighth graders and is planning club activities promoting the DARE concepts. Jeff is totally committed to leading by example.
