Critical Thinking
Spotlight on Students - The Spotlight on Students is a recognition ceremony for 5th graders at Underwood who have either overcome a challenge, or made significant personal and/or academic growth, and also show positive character traits. Please see the attached form for a list of criteria that can be used when choosing students.
If there is a 5th grader that fits this description, please email Amy the name and 3-5 sentences about that student and why they are being recognized.
