Praying for the two victims who have been tragically shot in Glover Park in NW DC late this afternoon. @StoddertPTO was immediately put under lockdown which included students in aftercare, parents who had arrived to pick up their kids, aftercare staff, and @dcpublicschools and @DCDPR employees. Everyone in the school community is safe and has now been dismissed. Thank you to @DCPoliceDept and @SecretService for ensuring safety for our children.

With @stoddertpto’s incredible custodial crew! 🪏 These heroes have been out in the bitter cold for days, clearing heavy snow and ice to make our school safe and accessible. It was exhausting, but deeply fulfilling to lend a hand alongside them. Huge thanks to the parents and kids who showed up to help. The crew was so appreciative and our students will be as well when @dcpublicschools are finally back in class. This is the power of community in action. Neighbors showing up, shovels in hand, smiles on their faces. Stay safe and warm, everyone.
