Water Main Break / Wasserrohrbruch
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2025
Our school has experienced water damage due to a water main break in the neighborhood. Preschool, SEL, and grades 5–12 are operating as usual.
IMPORTANT: The elementary school building is currently being restored to a usable condition; therefore, we are unfortunately unable to offer regular classes or supervision for grades 1–4.
Please keep your children in grades 1 to 4 at home on Friday, December 5.
The Newbees canceled the Newbees Breakfast.
We are closely monitoring the MCPS decision for Friday in case they announce a delayed start due to the weather.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

WICHTIG: Das Grundschulgebäude wird derzeit in einen nutzbaren Zustand gebracht, daher können wir für die Klassen 1–4 leider keinen regulären Unterricht und auch keine Betreuung anbieten.
Bitte behalten Sie Ihre Kinder der Klassen 1 bis 4 am Freitag, den 5. Dezember zu Hause.
Die NewBees haben das Newbees-Frühstück abgesagt.
Wir behalten die Entscheidung von MCPS für Freitag im Blick, falls aufgrund des Wetters ein verspäteter Schulbeginn angekündigt wird.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis und Ihre Unterstützung.
From Hand to Hand 2016
Dear Parents and Students of the Elementary School
Our food drive for the Children’s Inn was another big success! Thanks to your generous donations we received a large quantity of food items. The students of grades 1-4 passed the food items from hand to hand in a long line that reached from the Elementary School library, across the courtyard, and all the way to the parking lot. At the end of the line the donations were put into large bags and loaded into a car. All participating students were very motivated and enthusiastic. It was a joy to see the students collaborating and working together for such a great cause at the beginning of this holiday season.
The food items were received at the Children’s Inn with much appreciation and gratitude. The staff was impressed with the amount of items our students and parents had donated. The organization was also very thrilled with the „Happy Thanksgiving“ card that was prepared by our students with care and dedication.
A big thank-you to all the parents who donated countless food items and to all teachers and students who contributed to this success! If you would like to further support the Children’s Inn, please take a look at their Amazon wish list using the link below: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/?ie=UTF8&cid=A1J79EG8ZL1UYI
The items will be mailed directly to the Children’s Inn.
We hope that you enjoyed your Thanksgiving celebration. On behalf of the Elementary School, I wish you all a wonderful holiday season!
Greetings,
Ulrike Schweitzer
Elementary School Counselor
