With cold and flu season upon us, it is easy for students to fall behind in their studies due to missed days of school. Proper nutrition, adequate hydration & sleep, and daily exercise insures our immune system is strong. A strong immune system is able to ward off sickness & disease. Healthy foods are crucial to helping our bodies run smoothly, both mentally & physically. Many of today's youth are lacking in important vitamins & minerals, and are consuming too many processed & sugary junk foods. Try increasing these foods in your diet to help boost your immune system.

Dear Newman Academy Parents, Governor Greg Abbott earlier this week issued an Executive Order (GA-34) lifting the mask mandate in Texas and increasing capacity of all businesses and facilities in the State to 100 percent starting Wednesday, March 10th. In lifting the mandate the Governor stated, “COVID-19 has not disappeared, but it is clear from the recoveries, vaccinations, reduced hospitalizations, and safe practices that Texans are using that state mandates are no longer needed. Today's announcement does not abandon safe practices that Texans have mastered over the past year.” So, we understand that there is a decrease in the severity of the pandemic, and also that the task of controlling the pandemic does not rest on a state mandate anymore, but on responsible citizens like us.

As we continue to spend more time in our homes, we understand our mental health is of upmost importance. It's hard to keep spirits up when everything around us is canceled or limited. Here's seven mood boosting tips for the whole family:

Dear Newman Family, Thank you for another amazing Founders Day Program capturing the vision of the Founders, reinforcing the Newman commitment to the cause of a value-based education, and encouraging me and all Newman constituents to stay focused on the united effort to raise the next generation of warriors of wisdom, stature and favor.​ Please let all our students know how much we Founders appreciate every song, dance, performance and card. They were all wonderful and meaningful. It was a sweet surprise to see my sister Dr. Mangai, who instilled in me a passion for teaching and education, also join the program from India.​ Gina Camp, district fine arts coordinator, Eduardo Mataitis, media coordinator, all fine arts teachers, administrators, staff and Mrs. Sims, thank you for a great program filled with your love and commitment to the Founders and to Newman Academy. I love you much. God bless you all! Sheba

Dear Newman Families, We have come to the end of our first semester and almost the end of the calendar year 2020! Christmas is here! Thank you for all your support and cooperation to help Newman help its students achieve their education—both through online and in-person instruction. Thanks also to all our faculty and staff for their continued commitment to our students. Based on TEA’s options for Texas school systems regarding student proficiency, we ask all online students who have failed in any subject (scored less than 70%) in the last 9 weeks’ cycle to return to in-person instruction in January 2021. This plan will help ensure excellence and prevent failure among Newman Warriors.

Christmas break can be difficult for both parents & youth, as schedules are interrupted and there may be no structure to their days. Following these strategies to help make the break a success, which will ensure the New Year gets off to a great start too!
