Week Four: Smithsonian Magazine Group Project - Founders Day!

Back To It!

Monday, January 25th  is a
B -Day

International Day was a hit. Thanks to all the students who listened and participated and BIG thanks to the Parent volunteers and Senior Tour Guides!

A Message from Mrs. Hart:

Have you ever wondered what Founder’s Day is? It’s our
yearly celebration of our founders, Drs. Lazarus and Sheba
George, together with our namesake, Dr. Hepzibah Newman.
Our Fine Arts Department has produced a lovely program
that pays tribute to this very important day in our school’s
culture. The NICH campus will be with us for this special oc-
casion, and we would love for you to join us, as well! The
celebration begins this coming Tuesday, Jan. 26, at 12:45
p.m., in the Metro Center.

Welcome to 2nd Semester!

                                    

Important Note:
Dear Parents and Students of NIA Arlington,
Now that my son, who most of you know as Butterbean, is home from the hospital, I will be spending the next two weeks with him and getting physical therapy and rehab. The coming two weeks of ELA have been planned and students have engaging and interesting work to keep them focused, on task and acquiring new information. A HUGE thanks to all of the well-wishes, prayers and goodies provided to Butterbean! See you all in two weeks! Ms. Sanders
