What happens when students become historians of their own community?

At Ross Elementary, students collected & shared stories from generations of Ross community members and worked with @schoolstoriesdc to create a powerful exhibit that honors the past while inspiring the future.

At @Browne_ec, students are engaging in lively book discussions 📚, bringing characters to life through theater and movement 🎭, & deciphering fact from myth 🧠.

Meaningful learning happening at every grade level—we love to see it!

[DC Public Schools @dcpublicschools]

As part of our Strategic Plan, DCPS is working to ensure our middle schoolers have access to free, meaningful afterschool experiences that spark passions & foster belonging within their school community.

Because when students feel connected, 🔗 they succeed.

Young learners building foundational math, literacy, and problem-solving skills always make me smile.
