Book club leaders enjoyed a field trip to the 2023 Walter Dean Myers awards at the MLK Jr. DC public library. Students received free copies of award-winning books, met the authors, and got their copies signed after listening to speeches celebrating diversity in literature."

The middle school Project LIT book club enjoyed its most recent student-run meeting last Friday! We had a great time discussing Jennifer Chan is Not Alone by Tae Keller. Massive shoutout to our student leaders for putting this together! #dragonsread #ibforall #middlschool

I recently mentioned to a colleague that we should double per-pupil funding in DC. I've done the math on what this would mean for the overall DC city budget. I wasn't kidding.

Big red flag: K-12 education lost more than 21,000 workers in September.
Public education remains one of the least recovered industries from the pandemic.
**There are 309,000 fewer teachers and support staff than pre-pandemic**

We love the Capitol Stones! This (basically indestructible) bit of our history belongs publicly accessible outdoors, not in a warehouse. @uscapitol @RockCreekNPS @UrbanAdvSquad

“I’d like them kept in Rock Creek Park,” @EleanorNorton said in a phone interview with @jackfitzdc. “People go there anyway to look at them. And I think forming a more appropriate exhibit at Rock Creek Park would be the perfect place for them.”
