So proud of our educators! Let’s go! The best is yet to come! @NuttyProfessor_ @FriendshipPCS
From my first @FriendshipPCS Convocation to my most recent, one thing remains the same: @PatBrantley pushes us toward greatness in EVERY area on this #Journeyto30—even when we’re having fun! 😂🔥
Excellence is the standard, on and off the clock! 🐯🏆 #FPCSSE

Today we celebrate the warmth, love, encouragement, and grace of mothers and mother figures. As our first teachers, nurses, defenders, and way-makers, mothers fill us with the hope and discipline needed to grow into capable adults.

Proud of our hardworking DC educators!At @FriendshipPCS we’ve seen state test progress year over year. Now the Nation’s Report Card shows all DC is rising. Still much to be done but I hope DC gets its rightfully due recognition. #DCRising #FriendshipProud @OSSEDC @washingtonpost

Thank you @dcpolicycenter. Too often we hear “Students aren’t ready for college! They’re not ready for careers!” Well, they’re not ready for unemployment either. They’re not ready to be untethered from a formal structure after HS. Let’s do the work &put kids on paths to success.
🏫 We're excited for the release of our "Building career assets for lifelong success" report!
✨ Our release event with @CityWorksDC is kicking off shortly. We'll be sharing moments from the school and employment leaders panel.
➡️ Check out the report: dcpolicycenter.org/publicati…
You have to survive before you soar. Congratulations Knights! @FriendshipFB @FriendshipPCS #FriendshipProud

The talk from both sides in the handshake lines? “See you in December.”

History was made as VP Kamala Harris accepted the nomination to run for President. We're incredibly proud that our scholars had the opportunity to meet the Vice President. Moments like these inspire the next generation of leaders. #FriendshipProud
When will enough be enough? 😞 Rest in peace Ahsan. Your school family misses you. 💔

With COVID relief & local funds that prioritized education, students made gains but recovery is far from over - especially in math. As funds expire, schools are joining forces to share best practices & resources so students continue to get what they need. @Empowerk12 #DCMathHub
New: Federal Covid funding drove some gains in student learning, but likely not enough to produce a full recovery, new research concludes. wsj.com/us-news/education/sc…
This is what “grow your own” looks like. Congratulations to Mrs. Richardson! She said she would do it and she did - completing her Bachelor’s in Elementary Education while holding down a full time residency in the classroom. 🥰 #FriendshipProud instagram.com/reel/C6h92aKN8…
A reporter asked me today, “what makes Friendship schools special?” My answer, “we see the kids in us and hope they see us in them. We are from this community. This is us.” 💕

It was a pleasure to join @EmpowerK12 & #DCMathHub today to share and discuss best practices on a topic that is critically important for our students’ lifelong success. Math! We want students feel joy & a sense of self-efficacy when they are learning and doing math. #DCMathSummit

For always thinking about, pushing for, and supporting the advancement of all of us, thank you Dr. Ramona Edelin.
What does it look like when policy turns into resources and resources turn into action? For schools, it looks like learning and getting our students what they need. Forever grateful to @AllisterSBOE and @OSSEDC for leading on literacy. #FriendshipProud @FriendshipPCS
100% of instructional staff @FriendshipPCS are being trained in the science of reading and structured literacy aligned practices. I got to see first-hand how impactful that is for students. Let's replicate this across the city @OSSEDC @DMEforDC @DCSBOE!
👏👏👏
