Art From Underwood Student Joins District's Collection ... Each year, the Wauwatosa School Board chooses a few pieces of student artwork to add to the district's art collection. The pieces, submitted by K-12 teachers, are chosen for their originality and quality. After hanging in the boardroom for a few years, this piece, created by Kennedi Raines, will be returned to Underwood where it will remain on display permanently.
