🎬 May at DCPS—full of moments that matter.

From celebrating our educators and partners to students showing up for learning and team spirit—this month was all about progress, impact, and connection.

Take a look back at what we’ve been building together across the district. 💙

🚲✨ Hundreds of DCPS second graders celebrated “Graduation on Wheels,” showing off the skills they built through their “Biking in the Park” Cornerstone.

For 300 students in Wards 7 and 8, the milestone also came with brand-new bikes, helmets, and locks to take home🌳🚴‍♀️
