Grade 3 Learns Holton-Arms History From Head of School, Susanna A. Jones

This morning, Holton's Head of School Susanna A. Jones met with the third grade to teach them about the history of Holton-Arms. The girls enjoyed hearing how Mrs. Holton and Miss Arms started the School in Washington, DC in 1901 after teaching together at another school called Mrs. Flint's School. Watch the video below to hear from Ms. Jones about how Mrs. Holton and Miss Arms took their books and scientific equipment in a push cart that they hired from a flower vendor and wheeled them to their new school. Holton still has this original scientific equipment!
