The Newton School

Congratulations to our Kindergarten and 8th grade graduates! Many thanks to our teachers and parents for supporting you in your education. Best wishes as you move up to first grade and on to high school!!

The All-School Annual Carnival lived up to the hype! From the dunking tank to the face painting, from cotton candy to balloon animals, from a magic show to the photo booth, a great time was had by all! Who knew so many students possessed such tremendous watermelon eating skills??

Our 5th and 6th grade students had a wonderful walking visit to DC, starting at the Washington Monument and ending at the Lincoln Memorial. All of us learned a lot about our country’s history while experiencing a beautiful day in the city. Many thanks to our engaging guide at DC by Foot - Walking Tour Company who helped make this tour extra educational!

Our 7th and 8th grade students got a real life Civics lesson with our visit to the Loudoun County Courthouse. The students got to see the courtroom in action by observing multiple arraignments - from drug charges to reckless driving. This was followed by a special meeting with Judge Kohler who gave us a close-up view on his career and responsibilities. Finally, we had an excellent tour of the courthouse. This was an eye-opening experience for our students (and adults!) and many thanks to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office for making this happen for us!!

Teacher Appreciation Week is off to a great start with a visit from Kona Ice for shaved ice for all teachers and students. It was refreshing and a delicious way to start the week!

Our students enjoyed the incredible beauty of Meadowlark Botanical Gardens this week! The flowers, fish and turtles were out in full force for us to enjoy. Highly recommend this nature immersion for everyone!

Stop the summer slide of learning! There are still spots for your child at The Newton School Summer Program! Send a message to enroll today!

Our 7th and 8th grade students had a fabulous time at Spy Museum in DC today. After an on-time and very nice trip on the Metro, we all had a highly interactive experience learning about spying techniques through the ages. Our favorites were the James Bond hanging bar, the disguise portraits and using clues to search for Bin Laden. Many thanks to the staff at the Museum for a great learning adventure!

Our Lower School students traveled to Glen Echo Park to see Cinderella at the The Puppet Co. Playhouse. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! The puppets were very well done and engaging for our students. We even got to have a Q & A and pictures with the actors afterwards. Highly recommend!!

We had an awesome celebration of Pi Day yesterday at The Newton School! Our students participated in a wide variety of math activities related to this concept and enjoyed many circular treats that they brought in.

Many thanks to Ms. Gebauer, one of our middle school math teachers, for her leadership to make this such a lovely learning experience!
