Thankful to be included as a board judge at tonight’s @OneWorldEdu challenge. I heard from smart, impassioned students about financial literacy, trauma informed social services, and abortion rights and sex education. Here’s to youth voice and youth engagement. ❤️☀️
Uplifting youth voices and transforming students into writers is difficult, but I never overlook its importance and the privilege it is to be part of @OneWorldEdu. Thanks @cataloguedc @washingtonian & @wcp for identifying us as an impactful 2021 donation! https://t.co/PTi1N9wBr7
We can complain about problems that limit our kids learning, or we can collaborate to improve them. My letter to OSSE’s Superintendent to improve education grant making in Washington, DC. @OSSEDC
We launched @OneWorldEdu 15 years ago to engage students, to empower their voices, and show how to address social injustice through writing. The first night of the One World G8 Academy was all of this! @dcpl@PaulPCS@FriendshipPCS@InspiredSchool@HowardUMS2 @CapitalCityPCS
"After school activities are important to me because they play one of the biggest roles in my life!"
Hear from Amyah, a @OneWorldEdu participant, why #OSTworks for her.
Then sign the petition to restore OST funding so all DC youth have access to OST: https://t.co/AwtbqIWzy1
With new numbers suggesting that the pandemic is on a downward trend, we have decided to postpone the concert with the hope that we may be able to celebrate together in person later this summer. Stay tuned for an exciting announcement. Thanks for your ongoing support!
grateful to serve on the @OneWorldEdu board where students are empowered to meaningfully amplify their voices by lifting up their own personal stories, and driving change in their communities. congratulations on winning the competition, Jessica!!!
Stories of DCPS and DC charter students and teachers working together are rare. Stories with this profound of an impact are rarer. Such an inspiring story!

As the OW Academy nears its end, students reflect on what they have learned. Simeon appreciates new perspectives he’s learned about from peers. @MTHSTrainer#OWChallenge

@ForOleary @CMRobertWhiteDC@CMLewisGeorgeW4@DCSBOE This is a reasonable resolution, but it should only happen after a new election of all SBOE members. They were voted for a job very different than what's proposed here, which is essentially OSSE oversight.
On Wed. 12/16 UNCF will host a Community Conversation featuring DC students to discuss the successes and challenges of virtual learning, college preparedness, maintaining social and emotional health during the pandemic and reopening schools. Register here: https://t.co/3YNdu2LZvN
I've worked with Rich Trogisch @Trogischr01 at @SWWHSA for fifteen years. Has he always been the best communicator and partner - no, but he's always placed student safety and learning 1st. @dcpublicschools needs to explain and reverse their authoritative brand of leadership!
