AuthorFest 2019 at Underwood was a huge success! Students and Teachers had the best time and everyone learned something about expressing their creativity. Students in grades 1-5 were inspired to create and tell their own stories. Here’s a note from one 2nd grade parent on AuthorFest: “The author that came in (Susan Tan) to speak with the school had a such a positive impact on Penny. After the presentation Penny was even inspired to write her own book! Just wanted to let you know your efforts are making an impact and are appreciated.” *CAS AuthorFest was made possible by a grant from the Newton Schools Foundation, a contribution from The Village Bank in Auburndale, and your generous contributions to our PTO. Thank you! Learn More About Creative Arts & Sciences (CAS)

Big Thank You – From the Underwood PTO!
Thanks to all who helped organize, volunteer at, and participate in the annual spring Carnival, as well as many other activities and fundraisers throughout the year. This year’s Carnival was a huge success. While everyone we met seemed to have spectacular fun, Liz and Steve Tabor had a particular blast getting their basket prize into their Mini Cooper! They were the winners of the 4th/5th Grade Gift Cards for Toys & Treats basket.
