The 2021 Fun Run was a huge success smashing out $10,000 fundraising goal! A huge thank you to our Fun Run committee and all our owl runners!

2020 Virtual Fun Run – October 31, 2020

The 2020 Virtual Fun Run was one we will not forget! Nearly 100 students registered for the Fun Run and ran around Farlow Park OR on a course of their choosing in their costumes on a bright, sunny day following a surprise October snowstorm! Participants came together to raise over $7,500 for the Underwood PTO. Thank you to everyone who made this event a success, especially our event chairs, Kate Luethy and Anne-Marie Gravel, Crislin Waldman for dressing up our Underwood owl for the logo, and Ms. Melanson’s class for having the highest participation!

2019 Go Green Fun Run

The Go Green Fun Run was a smashing success! The weather was superb, the kids had a blast, and Underwood showed great school spirit in their green shirts. Great job, Underwood!!

BIG thank you to Underwood parents, friends, family, and neighbors for your support and contributions! We surpassed our goal and raised over $10,500 so far (donations will be accepted through next Wednesday, May 15th)!
