Principal's Message to Deal students and families: 

This extended weekend has been a great time to reflect on some of the work we do. Our students recently completed an interim student survey on their "satisfaction" at Deal, as measured by some key indicators. While the overall score has increased from last year's 91%, it is important to ask what leads to satisfaction for our students, and what role we play in that effort. This year, we focused a number of activities on student engagement and found that, yes, students love to be engaged! Whether those activities directly led to the increase in the index is not one we can answer right now.

 

What we can consider, however, is what types of experiences we think would be good for students in helping them become more secure in themselves and more reflective on their growth. Over this past weekend, three out of our four basketball teams competed for the District championships at their respective levels. All of us can imagine the excitement, the bonding, and the sense of purpose that a team forges as they compete together. Undoubtedly, those students who participated will always remember the experience. Students who competed in our speech and debate competitions as well will relish the memories of going up against older competitors, holding their own, and being proud of their work. Singers and dancers and actors are bound together by their work on the stage during productions. Students who work together on something much bigger than they are know it and enjoy it (mostly in spite of the outcome).

 

This weekend, 18 Deal students landed in Pereira, Colombia, and were welcomed by 20 Colombian families at the start of a two-week exchange. As they exited the airport, a group of about 40 people all dressed in red formed a waiting mass. Many of them had t-shirts with the name of their visiting student printed on the shirt; all of them had individualized balloons, one for each Deal student. Who can doubt that the excitement and challenge of a two-week exchange will forever mark the participants - from both countries? Without question, one of our student's lives will be changed forever - maybe they will see Colombia as a place to live, or will experience a different type of learning, or will come to understand something resilient about themselves that was hidden and waiting to be explored. The extensive preparatory work of the teachers, both at Deal and a Liceo Pino Verde (our sister school), are justified by these experiences.

 

This reflection leads me to wonder whether all students at Deal have the chance to have these singular moments in middle school. Shouldn't we expect this of the school that we have built, that somewhere in the many academic and social paths on a three-year journey through Deal that this can happen for each child? As a school, we have to look closely at what we are offering - and whether all who could participate are getting a chance to participate. This means reaching out, not just welcoming those who show; at middle school it helps to ask sometimes. As families, it is important to help your child balance their life so it has the room for these experiences. Not every child is going to want to sing "Oklahoma" in front of 600 people or smash a drive in the volleyball championship. But it would be great to know what are the potential moments in your child's life that you and Deal can work together to provide.

James Albright

PS - Speaking of great moments, Deal's basketball teams had some amazing successes this weekend. We congratulate all four teams for making the playoffs; the boys 7/8 made it to the finals against Francis-Stevens but came up short, both girls teams (6th and 7/8) won their respective championships. A great season for all dribbling Vikings!

City-wide Children's Marimba Ensemble
Music, camaraderie, performance, exploration.  These are things you'll experience in Sticks & Bars: A DC Youth Marimba Ensemble.  Started this past fall for the children of DC in 5th to 12th grade, Sticks & Bars meets Tuesdays and Thursdays to reherse at the Gala Hispanic Theater in centrally located Columbia Heights.  This marimba ensemble focuses mainly on the lively, get-up-and-dance music of Zimbabwe!  The ensemble is made up of students from schools around DC -- public, private, charter and home school. The students will perform in various venues in the metro area.  A new session starts Feb. 3, but join at any time.  Fees run $10/lesson.  For more information, to attend a practice, or merely to observe, contact Premila Mistry at:  [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.  View video of our students playing at 

   

Middle School Self Defense Class
Grand Master Kim of the National Defense University is offering a self-defense class geared specifically for sixth and seventh grade students. The class will stimulate simple, real life situations and teach self defense techniques for children. Students will gain confidence, learn respect and discipline in a safe environment.

The class will be held at a martial arts studio just across Fort Reno Park from Deal Middle School. The price of the class is extremely affordable.
