Underwood GT Magnet Elementary

It’s wonderful to hear about former students who first discovered their gifts and talents here at Underwood GT Magnet, and who are now seeing their dreams come true. One such student began learning the cello here at Underwood, and just completed his Senior Degree Cello Recital, a remarkable achievement and a testament to dedication, talent, and the strong foundation built here at Underwood.

Class of 2026 HS seniors, hope you can make it!

Wednesday was all about the “switch up” and it did not disappoint! 😄✨ Teachers dressed like students, students dressed like teachers, and the laughs (and creativity!) were everywhere.

As we wrap up our final day of Underwood’s participation in The Great Kindness Challenge, we’re reminded how much joy kindness can bring. It’s been an incredible week full of smiles, positivity, and community spirit. 💛

Let’s keep the kindness going, Underwood!

Our Girls on the Run team crushed their mock 5K for the spring session! 🏃‍♀️💪 So proud of their hard work, determination, and team spirit!

It was the start of The Great Kindness Challenge week with Kindness “Ties” us together. Some teachers upstairs also showed up in stripes, unplanned!

Underwood is participating in The Great Kindness Challenge next week!

🌟✨ We followed the Yellow Brick Road to an unforgettable performance! ✨🌟

Our talented 4th and 5th grade Theater Production students took the stage in Magical Land of Oz, bringing courage, heart, and creativity to life! 🎭💚

Our amazing 3rd–5th grade Behind the Scenes Electives, worked their magic handling tech, designing costumes, and building the set that transformed the stage into a world somewhere over the rainbow. 🌈

This production was truly a team effort, and we are so proud of every student who helped make this journey to Oz possible. Bravo to our cast and crew for an incredible show! 👏🎉

This quarter, students explored a wide range of gifts and talents through their elective choices, including dance, band, strings, tumble & cheer, gymnastics, theater games, music, hip hop, and improv.

Yesterday several classes performed at our quarter 3 Elective Share. From high-energy performances to creative expression and teamwork, it’s been amazing to see everyone step into new roles, build confidence, and showcase their skills. 🎭🎶

Huge shoutout to all our students for their enthusiasm and willingness to try something new, you made this quarter unforgettable!

📚✨ Join us at Underwood for a helpful and fun evening!

On Thursday, March 26th, at 7 p.m., the Theater Production elective will present The Magical Land of Oz! Underwood families are welcome to attend this exciting musical theater performance in the gym/cafeteria, put on by 4th- and 5th-graders in the Theater Production elective, featuring set, prop, and costume work by 3rd-5th graders in the “Behind the Scenes” elective.

Our 1st graders had an unforgettable adventure on their field trip to Laurel Hills Park! 🌿✨ From exploring peaceful ponds to discovering different habitats, curiosity was in full bloom.

Students became young scientists as they observed avians in their natural environment, listened for bird calls, and learned how ecosystems work together. 🐦💧 Every trail led to new questions, excitement, and hands-on learning!

It was a day full of exploration, wonder, and discovery—nature truly is the best classroom. 💚🌎
