Underwood Community School District

Students in our Economics class stepped into the role of entrepreneurs as they pitched their business ideas to a panel of “investors” during a Shark Tank activity. #WeAreTheU

Students in chemistry class worked with partners to analyze data from the previous day’s investigation, looking for patterns to identify unknown substances. Through detailed notes and evidence-based reasoning, they supported their claims—similar to how forensic scientists analyze evidence to solve cases. #WeAreTheU

We still have a few open coaching positions for this spring and summer. If you’re interested in joining our team, please contact Activities Director Tyler Hamilton at thamilton@underwoodschools.org for more information. #WeAreTheU

A big thank you to Joe Peleska from State Farm for celebrating Read Across America Week with our preschoolers!

Joe spent time with the class reading a story and generously provided a book for each child to take home. We truly appreciate him taking time out of his day to visit our preschoolers and support our youngest readers.
