The administrator of the Upland/OneCause partnership does the administrative tasks online at the OneCause site and occasionally reminds the Upland community to register. The best way to get involved or support this project is to go to www.OneCause.com and register with Upland Country Day as your school. Any purchases you make online will automatically be credited to our school.
