Countdown to the #2024 Folklife Festival: 50 days! Twenty years after the opening of @SmithsonianNMAI in Washington, D.C., we‘re welcoming back Indigenous elders and youth, experts and learners, artists and knowledge keepers. We can’t wait for you to meet them, June 26–July 1!

Today, @Kerry_Savage_ testified on addressing the youth mental health & violence crisis. Let’s pour into our kids - with SBMH, OST, safe passage, & joyful learning environments. Let’s listen to kids and families on what they need, then make targeted investments & policy choices!

Our Magnificent Seven! Congratulations to @FriendshipPCS Blow Pierce Elementary, Blow Pierce Middle & Ideal Middle for being Bold Schools & to Friendship Collegiate HS, Tech Prep HS, Southeast Middle & Armstrong Middle for being Bright Spots! #FriendshipProud #FriendshipStrong

Today, the Ed Forward DC team stopped by @capxlab's Celebration of Learning! Students spoke one-on-one with us and the CapX community about their artwork illustrating how hardship drives personal transformation and exhibits demonstrating the evolution of life on Earth.

3 Days - Celebration of Learning Students love project week! Come back throughout the week to see scholars prepare for the BIG day. #capxlab #craftsmanship #communitybasedlearning #projectbasedlearning #dcmiddleschool #schoolpartnership #FPCSBlowPierce

Capx Lab - innovative middle school model that removes the walls of the classroom. #communitybaselearning #schoolinnovation #teacherleader #projectbasedlearning

Latino history is American history. This #HispanicHeritageMonth and all year, our @USLatinoMuseum and the entire Smithsonian celebrate the ways in which Latinos and Latinas have shaped our nation. We embrace the fact that there is no one Latino story, perspective, or experience.

“There is nothing more powerful than a people, than a nation, steeped in its history. And there are few things as noble as honoring our ancestors by remembering. " - Lonnie G. Bunch III, Smithsonian Secretary and Founding Director of our museum. #ANationsStory #APeoplesJourney

@DrAmberMukasa @FriendshipPCS So exciting to see high quality #PBL in place in the first two weeks of school!! Projects don’t have to be saved just for the end of the year! Thanks @PBLWorks for all the great resources that helped with project planning

Last week, scholars successfully held their “mini” celebration of learning answering the question “What does it mean to be a CapX scholar?” Such a fantastic show of their learning! This week, they venture off to their first community-based experiences! @capxlab @FriendshipPCS

#OnThisDay 60 years ago, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom brought nearly 250,000 people to the nation’s capital to protest racial discrimination and show support for civil rights legislation pending in Congress. #MOW60
