A group of students participated in the Annual Frederick Douglass Oratorical Contest, where they memorized, and recited a powerful speech by Frederick Douglass. Their performances in front of a panel of judges and their peers truly impressed us all! @APSVirginia @CRJEducation

When things go wrong, it's natural to initially feel anger or frustration rather than gratitude. Life can seem unfair in those moments. Today, take time to acknowledge this feeling, but then consciously shift your perspective toward gratitude. #wellnesswednesday
