Donations will be accepted in totes outside of all three buildings. Feel free to contact Jennifer Fischer or any FCCLA member with questions. Thank you for your generosity as we work to help our community members in need.

Happy Veteran's Day from Ms. McKearney's class! #WeAreTheU

**ATTENTION: Underwood Regular Board Meeting Change. The upcoming board meeting has been moved to Wednesday November 12th. This necessary change is to allow the Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors to officially certify the School Board election results. The canvass of votes is a normal part of the post election process that verifies and confirms accuracy for all county elections. This allows the vote to go from unofficial to certified or official.
