Underwood Families,
I hope that you have had a fantastic week! We have had a great week of school and are looking forward to the last week of the 2019 year! Below are some celebrations and announcements.
Pieces of Gold
Congratulations to our 3-5 Theater Production Team in being selected to participate in Pieces of Gold in March! Pieces of Gold is a Wake County K-12 production that schools audition to participate at Meymandi Hall! The staff and students worked really hard for this achievement, way to go!
Readvolution
I am proud to announce that out of 118 schools we finished in 14th place for the Readvolution campaign with having read 4.832 books. That is amazing! Each student who read for 800 or more minutes during the campaign will be receiving two free Carolina Hurricanes tickets. We had 164 students reach or exceed that goal of 800 minutes! Please see the links below on how to redeem the tickets.
Throughout the campaign we have also been tracking at school which classes have read the most minutes and finished the most books. It has been a close race throughout the campaign. The final numbers are in... Ms. Shepherd's class read the most books with 579 books read and Mrs. Goldberg's class read a total of 41,521 minutes which was the highest for our school. Congratulations to both classes, to all the students that participated, and to the students who met their goals!!
Remember...“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
Holiday Performance:
Holiday Concerts are next week. The two evening performances are for our home families (parents, grandparents, neighbors, etc) and provide a more intimate setting for students to showcase their work. The Thursday AM performances are for our school family (staff and students) and are encore highlights of the evening performances. Parents are not expected to attend the daytime performance.
