Always behind, but better late than never! Here's the rest of the ornament photos from the library's ornament contest. They had to decorate an ornament that promoted reading. The students that participated received a small gift bag of goodies. They did such a great job and it was fun to see how creative our students are!

Out of an abundance of caution and to allow for safer travel, New Underwood Schools will have a 10:00 am start to the day. Thank you!





**Thank you to everyone that donated gently used books for this occasion! Also, thank you to First Interstate Bank of NU for providing a means to purchase a few books to fill in some empty slots! Thank you to all the teachers and support staff that helped make this happen! A huge thank you to Santa and The Grinch for taking time out of their busy schedule to join us at New Underwood Elementary.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
