All of the money we make at the PTO is through fundrasing efforts. Thanks to everyone who helps support our programs.

Florence Fransden (mom of Julian in Grade 3) is our Box Tops/Campbell's Soup Coordinator. Please clip and save your Box Tops and Campbell's lables and send them in an envelope or bag with your child's name and grade on it. The classes that collect the most Box Tops will be awarded a Pizza Party at the end of the school year. This money really does add up! Our school-wide goal is to collect 3,000 Box Tops and Labels for Education before end of classes.

School Uniform Policy: Underwood Elementary has an optional school uniform policy in place. Save yourself the hassle of choosing what your child wears to school each morning. Any navy or khaki bottoms (shorts, pants, skirts, skorts, jumpers), any blue or white collared shirts (polos, button downs, turtlenecks, long sleeves, short sleeves). We also have a Gently Used Uniform Closet for items your child has grown out of. Swap some clothes and save some money!

Fridays are School Spirit Day! Wear your Underwood School Logo clothing and show some school spirit! We have short sleeve T- shirts ($7), long sleeve T-shirts ($9), short sleeve polo shirts with collar ($15) and canvas tote bags ($25). Cash or checks made out to Underwood PTO for orders (PTO mailbox and envelope in main office). Thanks to Julie McGahey (619-2939) for coordinating Spirit Wear this year!

We're SO pleased with how our LEGACY QUILT turned out! The quilt is hanging in the cafeteria for all to enjoy. Please stop by to see how special it is. Click on the thumbnail to the left to see the full quilt.

The NEW PLAYGROUND is UP! Well done and a tremendous THANKS to all the families that helped make this happen. Many years in the making and loads of hard work to raise the funds and then raise the slides. Very exciting to see it out there in the far field. Time to play!
