We are planning a significant renovation of our playground for the summer of 2026. I am in need of community Letters of Support for this project for the grants I am applying for. This will benefit our entire community as the playground is accessible year round by the public. If you are willing to assist, please send your letter to me at todd.benson@underwoodschool.org. Thanks.
We wrapped up the first week of Adventure Academy! Cooking was this week's theme. The students had to write a recipe for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They realized how being specific is important! To end the week they made dirt cups! Next, week's theme is "Beach" week.
Support Our New FACS Classroom!
We are excited to be starting up a brand-new Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) classroom where students will learn essential life skills like cooking, sewing, budgeting, and more. As we build this space from the ground up, we're in need of supplies and materials to help make hands-on learning possible.
If you'd like to support our students, please consider donating an item from our Amazon Wish List. Every contribution—big or small—makes a difference and helps create a welcoming, well-equipped environment for learning and growth.

Two 6th graders also earned the President's Education Awards: Timothy for Excellence and Eve for Achievement-Way to Go!

The US History students have been researching and persuading others periodically over the last 2 months to determine which event was most influential during the Cold War. And the winner is . . . The Election of Mikhail Gorbachev! Congrats Gavin, Kira, Nicki, and Dannie! While the others joined his team to help after their own events were defeated, Gavin has been campaigning for this event from the start of the bracket. All of the US History students were invested in the bracket this year, but extra congrats to these four! Good job to everyone!
