From Principal Albright
Happy New Year!
This issue of the ADCA Newsletter comes at a time of great excitement at
Alice Deal Middle School. Our building has greatly expanded into new and
renovated spaces, students are having a great time in our many clubs, sports, and
activities, and everyone feels refreshed and ready for the second half of our school
year. I hope to see many of you at ADCA meetings, at our annual (and annually
fun) Deal Auction in February, or at any of the student performances we will be
hosting in the near future.
Reno Wing Open House
The new wing has 15 classrooms, a couple of offices, an art space, and a multi-purpose room. The wing is
made up of the historic Reno School (1903, National Register) and the not-so-historic building between Reno
and the gym area of Deal (2015).
The Reno wing is integrated completely into the original Deal building; there are no exterior walkways needed
to get to those classes. In a few years, the space will seem seamlessly part of Deal.
Teachers are aware that it is a long way to get to the classes in the Reno wing. We need to see how students
move among the Deal spaces to see how we can ensure that everyone gets to class on time. For now, we will
encourage students to move quickly (but with purpose) and be forgiving as we work out the traffic patterns.
The new wing is quite beautiful; the Reno building space is even more breathtaking than I had hoped. All
exterior work, however, still continues as a muddy mess; new plantings will be put in during the late
winter/early spring.
Students will not enter or exit the Reno wing through exterior doors; they will continue to enter and exit where
they have normally exited.
Students have already moved their books into their new lockers; teachers' classrooms are already set up.
Bathrooms have been stocked.
There will be several historic displays authored by the Tenleytown Historical Society placed at critical
locations in the Reno Wing. We will endeavor to integrate these into our curriculum (although DCPS middle
school curricula don't necessarily cover school segregation nor the development of the Reno City area
following the Civil War).
An elevator is still to be put in place. This will take some time over the next couple of months. Until then, no
students with mobility needs will be required to go into the Reno Building. We will work as quickly as
possible with the construction company and the elevator company to have the elevator in place as early as we
are able.
There will be an open house to see the new space on Thursday, January 29, from 6:30 - 8:00pm. While the
Reno wing isn't a closed space before that, the open house should give us a chance to see it when it has had a
few weeks to work out its kinks!

Hello Alice Deal Community and
Happy New Year!
Welcome to the
second half of the
2014-2015 Alice
Deal Middle
School Year! I am
excited that we are
cruising along and
achieving all of
our goals thus far! We kicked off the school year
with family contributions nearly exceeding 50% of
the total budgeted amount. To date, we have
achieved 93% or $74,226 of the $80,000 family
contribution budgeted total. If you have not done
already, please contribute to your school. We want
to reach our goal of 100% of Deal families
contributing to the pot. Please consider having
your employer match your contribution!
In October, we partnered with the Deal Counseling
Team with Erica Woods, Vice President of
Speakers and delivered a successful High School
Night with over 200 students and parents in
attendance, checking out DCPS High Schools.
Our Speaker Series, Parenting for Prevention has
showcased these two sessions so far: Talking to
Your Child about Drugs, and Alcohol, Human
Trafficking, and Teen Dating Relationships. This
series continues to expose and educate our parents
giving them crucial data and information necessary
for successful parenting! Stay tuned for our third
topic at the next ADCA General Meeting,
Wednesday, March 11, 2015, 6:30 to 8:00 P.M.
November was quite a blast with Camille Martone
and Jennie Bonney planning a successful Book Fair
at Politics and Prose on November 1st and 2nd. We
closed out the month with our Annual International
Night. This event underlined the diverse Alice
Deal community and featured a buffet of the
special culinary dishes of the Deal culture. Thank
you to the Co-Chairs, Silvia Dinale and Neha Shah
for their excellent leadership!
We continue to celebrate our teachers and staff
with a year long Teachers Appreciation. We
planned a Winter Holiday Hot Breakfast on
December 15, 2014. Each teacher and staff
member was given a gift card to be spent at anyone
of our neighborhood commercial restaurants-
Starbucks, Panera Bread, Nanos Peri Peri and
Chipotle.
Our Holiday Greens Fundraising continues to be a
winner with Jonathan McHugh leading this
fundraiser. Thank you for purchasing your trees
and wreaths from us!
Finally, our biggest fundraiser of the year, the
Auction/Party 2015 is coming up very soon. Our
budgeted goal is to make $55,000. Don’t miss the
event of the school year, Saturday, February 7,
2015, 6:30 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. Register to win
tickets to the Maroon 5 Concert and the Special
Meet and Greet the Band at the Auction/Party

National History Day, a Big “Deal” for 8th
Graders.
National History Day (NHD) is a program that
encourages students to do research on a self-
selected topic, tied to a theme chosen by NHD.
Students may work individually or in groups. They
have five ways to choose from in order to present
their research: website, research paper,
performance, exhibit, or documentary. This year's
theme is "Leadership and Legacy in History."
Students may choose topics that have a family
connection, are local leaders, or are national or
international leaders. Students must do more than
present a biography of the person; they must
demonstrate through their research the legacy the
individual left in history. Leadership isn't always
embodied in a person; it can take the form of an
organization as well. Some of this year's 8th grade
topics include: Eleanor Roosevelt and the
Declaration of Human Rights, Frank Lloyd Wright
and architecture, and Montezuma and the Aztecs.
At Deal, NHD is a required 8th grade project;
however, our students who do a great job will
participate in the competition side of NHD. After
the classroom level, students from all four teams
will be judged together and the top projects in each
category will move on to the city-wide competition
held at the National Archives in the spring. At the
city-wide competition, two projects in each
category will advance to the national competition
at the University of Maryland in June, where the
projects will compete against projects from around
the country and partner schools abroad.
Historically, Deal students have had a strong
showing at all levels and even have placed
nationally. For more information, please
visit www.nhd.org.
MineCraft Period 8:
This Period 8 course is held after school and is for
all those MineCraft fans out there!
Ion Donlan is the teacher for this extra class
selection. Students who have wondered how such
famous structures as the Taj Mahal or the Empire
State Building were constructed in MineCraft
would probably enjoy this class. This period 8
offering is an opportunity to learn about the basic
principles behind architectural design and how it
can be applied towards MineCraft. Participants will
ponder:
What makes a sound structure?
How do I create my own architectural
theme or design? and
How does the landscape affect a structure?
By studying the architectural design process, the
answers to these questions will become clear.
Specific focus will be placed upon the study of
size, scale, and detail and how it connects to real-
life and virtual structures.
Mr. Donlan decided to create MineCraft Period 8
because he is extremely passionate about engaging
students with technology in the classroom. He
already runs a weekly MineCraft after-school club
each week at Deal. A Period 8 class is a way to
apply this idea academically. “MineCraft can be an
engaging tool for students because it teaches such
important skills as peer collaboration, product
design, and the value in problem solving” says Mr.
Donlan.
In Ian Donlan’s words: “ I am a 7th grade Special
Education teacher at Deal MS. It is my second
year. I hold a Masters degree in Special Education
from Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY. I
am also a 2008 Teach For America Corps Member

alumnus. I taught 7th Grade English Language Arts
in Prince George’s County from 2008 to 2010.
Prior to teaching, I worked as a computer art
assistant for a business publication in New York
City for several years while attending George
Washington University”.
GeoPlunge Challenge Tournament
"Always guess Alabama!" "Can Arizona beat
Rhode Island in population?" "Should we drop the
power?" are only some of the phrases you would
have heard on Thursday, December 12 as the Deal
GeoPlunge Team defended their first place cup for
the third year in a row! Students in grades 6-8 have
been working hard all year long during their recess
periods to study their U.S. Geography facts and
practice strategy for the game. Game play consists
of three rounds where teams of three face one
another and use cards to score points by
identifying, matching, and analyzing certain
geographic data. The game deck consists of 50
cards - one for each of the 50 states - with
information including time zone, capital city, and
rankings for population, size, and statehood. All
students are welcome to this friendly, but
competitive, club next semester as we prepare for
the Spring Tournament!

8th Grade Mock Hearings on the Constitution
Every year, the 8th grade stages mock hearings on
issues on the Constitution. This is a national
program in which many public schools participate.
The winners of each issue on each team will go on
to compete school-wide and then those winners
will compete city-wide, etc.
Students work in groups with anywhere from 3-6
in a group and they prepare a written essay to be
presented to the class and to judges. The judges
are parents and student teachers. I, your newsletter
editor, had the pleasure of serving as a judge for
one of the 8th grade teams. Issues studied included:
first amendment rights, Articles of Confederation,
different historical issues leading up to the writing
of the Constitution, international affairs, and
political parties. Judges ask questions of the
students to test their knowledge and poise. This is
a wonderful learning experience for the students,
especially since we live in the capitol city.
The following are some pictures from this
worthwhile event:

Viking Time: Humans of Alice Deal (HAD)
Deal has countless clubs and activities in which
students can participate. One of the more unusual
Viking Times’ activities is Humans of Alice Deal.
This group is for students who admire the
website/facebook page Humans of New York.
HNY is a series of pictures and stories about and of
random people in New York. So now Deal has
Humans of Alice Deal. This Viking Time,
comprised of 17 members, shares the stories of
those in our school community--students, teachers,
staff, and administrators. The following is the link
to HAD’s facebook page. Take a look!

Teacher in the Spotlight-
Emily Farrar, 8th Grade Math
Emily Farrar grew up
outside of Seattle
(Bainbridge Island,
WA) and was
extremely athletic
in school. She
participated in
cross country and
track as well as
basketball all
through high school,
and continued with cross
country and track for 4 years at
Washington State University.
Ms. Farrar moved to DC after graduating from
college. She tried a variety of different jobs-
marketing coordinator for an engineering firm,
specialty running store shoe salesperson, and
Nordstrom salesperson-while coaching HS track at
Washington Lee in Arlington, VA. She realized,
during that time, that what she really wanted to do
was be a teacher. Ms. Farrar was accepted by
several alternative teacher programs (Teach for
America, DC Teaching Fellows, Capitol Teaching
Residency) but chose DC Teaching Fellows
because of the desire to stay in DC. She taught
Algebra & Math Concepts for one year at a charter
school in the Parkside/Kenilworth neighborhood of
NE DC, before arriving at DCPS and Deal.
Farrar says: “I chose to come to Deal because of its
reputation and resources, and because I was
starting my master's degree in Curriculum &
Instruction at American University. My classes are
right across the park at Wilson High School two
days a week.”
“I got married in August in Seattle, and have a
chocolate lab named Bailey. I enjoy cooking,
yoga, running and college football. I am a HUGE
Seahawks fan, and also love to watch golf (my
husband played college golf and is an avid golfer
and football fan as well).” In Emily Farrar’s
words!
Holiday Greens Sale
Every year, the ADCA holds a holiday green sale.
Jonathan McHugh headed up this successful event
this year. He reported that “we sold about 270
trees, 140 wreaths and about 300 feet of garland.
We also had over 50 people volunteer to help with
the sale including that first weekend with the
torrential rain. As result of all these efforts, the
ADCA netted about ten thousand dollars!!!!
Thank you to the Deal community for such a
successful fundraiser!”
Alice Deal Community Association Newsletter Winter 2015

2014 Deal Book Fair at Politics and Prose
Every year, the ADCA has a book fair at Politics
and Prose. This year this event was co-chaired by
Camille Martone and Jennie Bonnie. People buy
books and Deal gets a percentage. Here are some
highlights from the 2014 Deal Book Fair:
161 supporters of Deal purchased books at the
Deal Book Fair (Nov 1st and 2nd);
Total sales were $8,740;
Deal's 20% share was $1,748;
These proceeds benefit the Deal library;
Approximately 80 books were purchased and
given directly to the library (Deal librarians put
together a wish list prior to the Fair); and
24 volunteers from Deal families worked at the
Fair.
International Night, a Smashing Success!
Alice Deal’s International Night held on November
19th, 2014 was a wonderful community event.
South African boot dancing
More than 500 members of the Deal community
enjoyed delicious food from around the world and
entertainment provided by our very own students -
South African boot dancing, the String Ensemble,
and African drummers club. A long list of
volunteers contributed to make this a successful
event – those bringing in a dish to share,
coordinating food tables, organizing the raffle give-
aways, hosting the international trips table, setting
up the decorations, helping with clean up and much
more. In addition, over 1,000 recycled plastic cups
at our water station were used - Daniel Solomon set
this up as a way to reduce waste and avoid using
hundreds of small plastic bottles.
The ADCA collected over $4,000 in donations
from our community to be used for 8th grade
international travel scholarships. It was a
spectacular evening that showed the strong spirit of
sharing and the rich diversity that exists in our Deal
community. Thank you to all of you who came out
to show your support!
