The Weekly Bulletin
Our school mission:
Alice Deal Middle School inspires excellence, curiosity, and compassion through intellectual and social engagement.

Principal's Message... Each week, cool and exciting events come up at Deal; these are quickly followed by something else cool and exciting. The bulletin serves as a record of these events, but is not able to really capture the spirit behind each of them. Last week, for example, each grade participated in unique field trips - 8th grade to civil rights places here in DC, 7th grade to a stream valley in Montgomery County, and the 6th grade to the National Portrait Gallery. For any one of these to happen, planning starts months in advance. As most trips center on the curriculum, the subject teachers take the most responsibility for arranging the trips. Once the idea crystalizes and the plan is approved by administrators, the organizing teacher sets out to build a great student experience. Keep in mind that our expectation is that every student participates in each field trip. Our size dictates that we break down our grades by team for these trips. Thus, each field trip is really three or four field trips, right down to supplies, buses, chaperones, lunches, and anything else that makes the trip work. For example, our 7th grade science field trip to Little Bennett has been in the works for months. Based on last year's trip to Great Falls, Virginia, in which an outdoor company made the arrangements and families paid for the trip, we were ready for the same this year. We found out, unfortunately, that although we had scheduled our trip in advance, we were going to be bumped to some dates that wouldn't work. Rather than give up on the trip, the 7th grade science department decided to recreate the same trip, but without the company. Ms. Rhoads visited a number of sites that could provide the same stream sampling opportunity in the area - traveling all the way to Camp David to find a place. After numerous weekends out, she settled on the stream near here in Montgomery County. Since we were just using a public park, we arranged the pavilion and the buses; the rest was up to Ms. Rhoads. Each element of the trip was designed by Ms. Rhoads - handouts, maps, sampling equipment, instructional content. This was done in conjunction with her 7th grade colleagues, but they were at pains to emphasize that Ms. Rhoads was the driver of this project. She traveled to the site in Maryland five times to make sure that everything was perfect. And it was. This week, all 440 students (minus a couple) traveled on four separate days to Little Bennett, hiked to stream sampling sites, evaluated their findings in the park, and returned - slightly muddier but very refreshed. Of course, Ms Rhoads does have other responsibilities here at Deal - providing excellent and challenging instruction for her five science classes, giving them timely feedback, and encouraging their excitement about the life sciences. I highlight Ms. Rhoads in this instance, but by doing so I have slighted the many teachers and staff members who go this same distance to make Deal what it is week after week. The two other field trips last week were also phenomenal undertakings. The week before, our music ensembles traveled to Hershey Park and had their most successful festival in recent memory. Our clubs and activities are still going on, even as the year winds down. And your students are still working in their classes, every day. While I can't give a detailed summary of what everyone is doing at all times, let it be enough for you to know that every activity or event that happens at Deal has a determined and committed staff behind it. There is no magic, just hard work. Enjoy the week.

7th Grade Deal Gives Back
Some of our seventh grade students will be doing our Deal Gives Back community service project at Ronald McDonald's houses in the DC area. The houses have asked that we prepare and bring grab and go bags to the houses. As such we are looking for the below items:
- Non perishable food items in individual packaging: Soup, pudding packs, bottled water, peanut butter, applesauce, juice boxes, trail mix, or other similar items.- Activities for children and adults: Coloring books, sketch pads, activity, notebooks/journals, card games, or other similar items. We appreciate anything that you are able to donate. Please send items into your student's homeroom class. Thank you for your support!
Student Council Food Drive
Student Council is sponsoring our second annual Spring Food Drive. Please send in any non-perishable food items (canned goods, boxed foods such as pasta and cereal, jars of peanut butter) to your student's homeroom teacher. One in eight households in DC is struggling against hunger and spring is usually the time of year when food banks receive the fewest donations. Please help Student Council contribute to our community!

International Baccalaureate
"I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver."
- Maya Angelou
Serving others is an important part of the IB philosophy. Here at Deal we are dedicated to developing young people who embody the Learner Profile attribute of "Caring" through a commitment to community and service. Sixth graders at Deal have spent this year focused on homelessness, seventh graders have focused on hunger, and eighth graders have led food drives. This year's Deal Gives Back, the school's day of service, will take place on June 4th. Deal students and staff will be going out into the community to serve others. Eighth graders will spend the day at elementary school across the city. Sixth and seventh graders will engage in a variety of service activities in school and throughout the city. Ms. Cadavid's eighth grade homeroom is collecting children's books to donate to the Nalle Elementary School library, sixth graders are collecting travel size toiletries for care packages, and some seventh graders will participate in gleaning at two local farms to provide food for those in need.
