December's Tiger Way was Enthusiasm!! Our nominees for elementary were Olivia (K), Harbour (1), Joanna (2), Taylor (3), Bodhi (4), and Liam (5). The recipients of the award went to Joanna, Taylor and Liam! Our presenter for the ceremony was eloquently presented by Samirah. Congratulations!!
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!
The NU Library's ornament contest was a success!! Some of the students chose to make an ornament that represented either a specific book they love, a character(s), a story, or the love of reading in general to place on the Library's Christmas Tree. Here a few pictures of those students and their ornaments! More to brag about as the week progresses!!
Santa is watching you...read! Santa and The Grinch (yes, he was not happy about it) gave the gift of reading this year to every elementary student. They promoted joyful reading and encouraged the NU elementary students to read, read, read over the Christmas break!
**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!!

During the month of November, the library held a reading challenge that encouraged students to write about a book they have been reading. The expectation was to write a short sentence describing a book, setting or character they have been enjoying. It was fun to read all the responses and to see what our students are reading. Congratulations to Truitt for being the recipient of the box of goodies!
