New Underwood School District 51-3

One of our very own 7th grade students, Chaisie Julson, spent a week at our state capital for the TeenPact Leadership Class. 'The Four Day Class is a dynamic, hands-on leadership experience where students learn about state government from a Christian worldview. Students gather to run for office, participate in a mock legislature, and learn about how they can be effective leaders in their community back home.' Way to go, Chaisie! We are proud of you.
