While we are not able to hold the annual Mystery Dinner, one of the largest fundraising opportunities of the year. We’re making up for it with a wonderful virtual cooking class taught by a local and credentialed chef! We will be learning how to make a mushroom risotto and chicken Marsala worthy of the North End! The cost is $85 per family and all proceeds will benefit the Underwood PTO fundraising efforts. Sign up here for a delicious evening with our community! The menu can be tailored to meet nearly every dietary restriction. Not a fan of mushrooms, no problem! All you have to do is note the same in the sign up genius slot and we will send you a customized menu. If we have enough families sign up by grade, we can organize chat rooms for a bit of socializing READ MORE

AuthorFest 2019 – presented by Creative Arts & Sciences
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)
