September 14

Neighbors,
It’s hard to believe that we are nearing the end of summer, and yet
most students in DC will return to school next week. On Monday, I
invite you to join me in getting the school year off on the
right foot with a welcome back pep rally at 8:00 am at Noyes
Elementary where we will be greeting students
with cheers and high-fives as they walk through the door for a new
school year.
As a parent, I know the preparation for school begins long before
the first day. Earlier this month, I was pleased to take part in an
annual backpack giveaway at Brentwood Recreation Center, hosted by
the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Roving Leaders and
spearheaded by Ward 5's own Ricardo Duren (pictured above along
with DPR Director and Ward 5 resident Delano Hunter).
Whether you have a school-aged child or not, back to school
season is in the air, and I'm continuing to work for a safe
and productive school year for all DC students.
In service,
Kenyan
