Urbandale will be a school district that brings learning to life for everyone.
Welcome to UMS Band!
My name is Daphne Monson and the 2023-24 school year will be my twenty-fourth year of teaching at Urbandale Middle School. An alumna of Urbandale High School, I received my Bachelor of Music Education from Morningside College in Sioux City. I spent one year teaching middle school band in the LeMars Community School District before coming back home to J-Hawk Country. My husband, Brent, teaches in the Recess program at Urbandale High School, and my daughter will be in eighth grade at UMS this year. We are a J-hawk family!
What a great concert on May 14th!!! This has been a fantastic year for all of the bands at UMS – enjoy your summer 🙂
