Congratulations to the 7th grade track team on a great performance in their meet against Powell on Monday. Newton girls beat Powell by dominating the running events and coming out strong with the field events. Despite their low numbers, the boys put up a good fight but unfortunately were defeated. Don't forget practice is today after school. We will be preparing for our final meet against Euclid on Monday. Please see Mr. Wilmes or Mrs. Rodrigue if you cannot make the meet. We need to know who is coming so that we can set up the races.
As deaf awareness week continues, we wanted to answer some of the great questions posed by Newton Students.
First, how do people become deaf? Well there are many ways. Some people are born deaf. Hospitals use Newborn infant hearing screening programs to identify hearing loss in infants shortly after birth. Some people can lose their hearing from an illness, such as meningitis. Other people damage their hearing by listening to loud music with or without headphones, or working near loud machinery without proper protection.
Second, can deaf people regain hearing? We can improve what we hear by using technology, like hearing aids or amplification systems. Now imagine that you took a photograph that was blurry. Wearing a hearing aid is like taking that photo, blowing it up and focusing on one piece of the photo to try to get a better picture. It does not become clear and crisp, but it is perhaps a little easier to figure out the subject.
Keep those great questions coming!
Do you like the color red? black? white? Do you secretly want to be a Knight? Well, you're in luck!! TOMORROW IS NEWTON SPIRIT DAY!! Come dressed in Newton colors!"
