Just like that, the Eagles are back in the nest! 🦅 Recently, @ewstokespcs was proud to bring back their alumni for their renewed alumni lunch event. What a great way to reconnect with their students!

Fifth grade scholars at @ewstokespcs recently traveled to Martinique and Panama! They toured sights like the Panamanian Presidential Palace and La Savane des Esclaves museum and viewed the diverse flora and fauna. Check out some of their highlights!

Welcome to Les Bon Petits Plats! 🍽️ Scholars at @ewstokespcs were cooking and serving in the grand opening of their in-classroom restaurant. The reviews are in, and it’s safe to say there’s a five-star restaurant in the making! 🍝🍛

Scholars recently learned more about their favorite reads directly from their authors! @goodwillexceldc hosted Zee Clarke, who penned "Black People Breathe: A Mindfulness Guide to Racial Healing," and PK classes @EWStokesPCS heard Lesley Younge read her new book, "A-Train Allen!"

PK classes at East End welcomed author Lesley Younge as she read her new book, “A-Train Allen”. Scholars imagined zooming through the city to a very special destination! Look for “A-Train Allen” and Ms. Younge’s other new book, “Nearer My Freedom” out now!
