Summary

Description
English: Coat of arms of Sir Isaac Newton (see e.g. Gérard P. Michon Escutcheons of Science - Armorial of Scientists - Numericana). Isaac Newton was granted the right to bear a coat of arms by the College of Heralds in 1705; this was not in recognition of his contributions to science, but rather a political favour to his patron, Lord Halifax. Newton had to submit a genealogy to the College of Heralds, where he claimed a shared male line descent with Sir John Newton, a baronet of Barrs Court in the County of Gloucester (this claim was probably not based in fact, but the baronet in question was happy to support the claim of the famous scientist being related to him). Therefore the coat of arms granted to him by the College of Heralds was the same one held by the Newton baronet, sable, two shin-bones in saltire argent, the dexter surmounted of the sinister ( answers.com)

A background to Schools Wikipedia

Through Schools Wikipedia, SOS Childrens Villages has brought learning to children around the world. SOS Children's Villages believes education is an important part of a child's life. That's why we ensure they receive nursery care as well as high-quality primary and secondary education. When they leave school, we support the children in our care as they progress to vocational training or higher education. Why not try to find out more about sponsoring a child?
