Underwood Competes in Black History Bowl Underwood participated in the seventh annual Black History Awareness Competition sponsored by the Iota Iota Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc from 9am–2pm Saturday, March 7, 2009 at Carnage Middle School. A study guide was provided to help prepare the students for the competition. The purpose of this “brain game” was to educate Wake County students on the rich history of the African American culture. The competitionfeatured students from three levels: elementary, middle and high schools. Underwood's team members were Flora, Ryan, Alexi, and Zairya coached by Mrs. Bryson-Jacobs. The Underwood team competed with Durant Road, Hodge Road, Smith and York Elementaries. At the end of the Preliminary Round Underwood placed third in overall points. While only the two teams with the most points moved on to the Championship round, placing third was satisfying to the team. Written by Glendia Bryson-Jacobs |

Keara demonstrates exceptionality in academics, impeccable respect for peers and adults, and is a model school citizen exemplifying integrity, reliability, and friendliness. With great pleasure, we celebrate her academic and social success and commend her to a remarkable future as she serves her nation and world. by Silas Rodriguez, 5th Grade Teacher |
