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.

4th Grade: Discovery Theater in Washington D.C.
Last week, the English Department of the Elementary School, Mrs. Monnett, Mrs. Kroeker, and Mrs. Hoover, took the 4th graders on a field trip to see “Meeting Mr. Lincoln” at the Discovery Theater in Washington D.C.
The play portrays two young people who want to ask President Lincoln some questions and who then turn to the audience to ask for help. The audience helps them figure out what to ask, and in fact everyone gets to talk to the president. As the program so aptly states: “This is an interactive play about identity, equality, and following big dreams.”
The students enjoyed the play. One student remarked on the ride home: ”You know Mrs. Monnett, President Lincoln was so authentic; exactly how I had always imagined he would look and sound like”. I completely agree.
- Ms. Monnett
