A Big N to Begin the School Year

During the first full week of school, on August 23, Newman gathered on Lupin Field to kick off the school year with our annual Opening Assembly. More than 1,000 students in grades Pre-K to 12 and over 200 faculty dressed in green and white and converged at midfield to hear a welcome from student leadership and Head of School Dale M. Smith. As in years past, the group assembled for a picture, but this year was different. Following carefully marked boundaries on the field, the campus community was arranged to form an enormous Newman N, green in the middle and white on the edges. It was a monumental effort, and also a metaphor for how each individual is part of the whole, and all together we are Newman.
