Regular Board Meeting Agenda for Monday, December 15 @ 6:00 pm in the middle school library. #WeAreTheU

Members of Mr. Anderlik’s Media Class—Hudson Ross, Maddox Mechaelsen, and Will True—attended the Creighton game today. The students had the opportunity to shadow Underwood alum Derek Ravlin, who serves on the Creighton sports marketing team. Thank you, Derek, for giving our students a behind-the-scenes look at all you do! #WeAreTheU

Underwood Optimist and the Elementary Student Council hosted a very successful Christmas Food Basket program for local families this week. The elementary students were asked to donate goods to help support the program.  Thank you to everyone who donated! #WeAreTheU

Baking II students successfully completed their wedding cake project for the semester! With guidance from Erin Johnsen of Wild Magnolias Bakery, students baked and decorated 48 cupcakes along with a two-tiered wedding cake. #WeAreTheU

Thank you to everyone who generously donated to the New Visions Homeless Services Adopt-a-Child program. Because of your support, we were able to bring Christmas to 42 individuals this year. Your kindness truly makes a difference. #WeAreTheU

Big thank-you to the Underwood Optimist Club for their generous donation that allowed us to purchase new uniforms for our junior high girls basketball team! We’re grateful for their ongoing support of our programs. #WeAreTheU

Anatomy students in Mrs. Klein’s class explored bone fractures yesterday. Using three credible sources with at least one being peer reviewed, they turned fracture research into models-explaining how each break occurs and what happens to the bone. Loved seeing their research come to life! #WeAreTheU

It's ugly sweater season at the U! #WeAreTheU

Great first day of K–3 basketball skill development this morning! Looking forward to seeing even more faces next week. #WeAreTheU

Last night, the boys wrestling team opened their season with a home triangular vs. Glenwood and Riverside. Thanks to a generous donation from the Athletic Booster Club, we were able to purchase a spotlight and compete under it throughout the night. A big thank-you to the Athletic Booster Club for their continued support! #WeAreTheU

The dance team wrapped up their season yesterday at the ISDTA Dance Championships, earning Division I ratings in hip-hop, lyrical, and pom! Be sure to stop by a basketball game this winter to catch their routines live. Great job, ladies! #WeAreTheU

Mr. Bolte spent time discussing the difference between Roth IRA, a Pension, and a 401(k). Students had many questions throughout the lesson as they are learning about investing and real-life skills in life after school. #WeAreTheU

Mrs. Fischer and her 1st period class celebrated their class Thanksgiving yesterday morning. Students were tasked with cooking or baking specific sides that they voted on as a class. They then had a chance to sit down together and enjoy the food together. #WeAreTheU

The Underwood High School Interior Design class recently finished their furniture refinishing projects. The students spent a week and a half refinishing a piece of furniture of their choice. Their hard work paid off, and the project turned out well. #WeAreTheU
