More kindergarten celebration photos from Wednesday, May 20.
Mrs. Selchert’s kindergarten class of 2025–2026 held their year-end ceremony at the New Underwood Community Center on Wednesday, May 20. The celebration was a wonderful success, filled with smiles, memories, and excitement for the future.
We would also like to thank Mrs. Selchert for her years of dedication and service to New Underwood Elementary. The kindness, patience, and love you have shared with your students over the years have made a lasting impact on so many young lives. Your former students will always look back on their kindergarten year with fond memories and remember the love and care they felt while in your classroom.
Congratulations to the kindergarten class, and thank you, Mrs. Selchert, for the difference you have made in the lives of children and families throughout the years! Mr. O

The students enjoyed a day filled with learning, fun, and unforgettable views. Enjoy some pictures from their trip!
More first grade County Fair pictures!
On Thursday, May 14, Mrs. Nelson’s first grade students hosted a County Fair at the end of the school day for fellow students, staff, and parents to attend. The County Fair served as the final celebration after the class finished reading the book 'Charlotte's Web'.
Students worked hard creating different projects and fair items inspired by the story. During the event, the first graders proudly shared their creations and explained their projects to visitors. The students did an outstanding job displaying their creativity, hard work, and enthusiasm throughout the fair.
Fantastic job, first grade students, on an amazing County Fair celebration!

More Spring Clean Up - Tiger Pride Day! pictures.
This past Wednesday, May 6, New Underwood students from kindergarten through twelfth grade participated in Spring Clean Up – Tiger Pride Day, sponsored by student council. Students spent the morning helping clean both the school and the community. Projects ranged from picking up trash around the school and throughout town to painting the senior rock, staining benches, repainting the playground murals, and cleaning under the bleachers.
The morning was filled with students and staff working side-by-side, supporting one another for a common purpose — taking pride in our school and our community. Their hard work, teamwork, and positive attitudes were on full display throughout the day. Tiger Pride was certainly evident in all that was accomplished! Excellent job, Tigers!!
