That's a wrap! 2025 FBLA NLC was a success! There was lots of networking, fun, and memories! Congrats again to Reagan and Nellie on this accomplishment!
This week's theme at Adventure Academy was "Water and 4th of July". We learned about buoyancy, water cycle and why water and oil don't mix. We ended the week with water relays and a water balloon competition.
Good luck to Reagan and Nellie as they compete at the National FBLA conference in Anaheim, California today!
Adventure Academy ended "Nature" week with a field trip to the Downstream Nature Trail and a bonus stop at the Fish Hatchery. We did a nature walk bingo, held fish, fed the fish and got to have turtle races.
Adventure Academy is going on a field trip on Friday, June 27th. Please return the field trip forms as soon as possible. If your student didn't bring a form home, please contact the school.

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.

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.

The 4th grade won a reading bet with Mrs. Rush and she had to dye her hair purple! We had a Citizenship Award winner (Timothy), three Great Attendance Award winners (Hadley, Evelyn, Timothey), and ONE PERFECT Attendance Winner (Emmelin). Two 6th graders also earned the President's Education Awards: Timothy for Excellence and Eve for Achievement-Way to Go!
