Reading the @Literacy_Trust's findings on poetry & literacy identity has me reflecting on @dcpublicschools' aspiring poets. #FBF to Regie Cabico inspiring students at @BallouSTAYDC & to scholars lighting up @DCSCORES' Poetry Slam ⚡️ Read the report ➡️ bit.ly/3KGi4zg

Parent Teacher Conferences is a great time to learn all the growth your student is making here at Ballou STAY. It’s a time for us to establish a partnership between families and educators, gain trust and early identification and support for academic and behavioral challenges.

Kicking off #HispanicHeritageMonth with gratitude for the many cultures, backgrounds, and traditions reflected among our community. Happy Hispanic Heritage Month, DCPS! 💚💛❤️🧡

Whether you love poetry or not, spoken word artist Regie Cabico says, "You've come to the right place," for a workshop series he led for @BallouSTAYDC. 🫰🏾Snaps🫰🏾to Regie and the courageous, creative students and staff who wrote and shared their work!
