PSJ is representing at today’s Fiesta DC celebration! From the parade to behind the scenes coordination, we’re proud to celebrate the rich heritage and diversity of the Latino community in DC.
Today, our DYRS team trained with the Elders Council on engaging youth and families, highlighting parents as key partners. We discussed strategies for transparency and accountability to ensure every family feels heard.

We gathered this morning to recognize the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on our nation.
No one knew in those moments who the targets were, but we knew it was our freedom and our democracy under attack.
Twenty five years later, we still remember the lives of all those Washingtonians we lost, including six members of our DCPS community—3 students and 3 educators.
We still and will always remember, reflect, and pray for the nearly 3,000 lives lost.
Deputy Mayor Lindsey Appiah retweeted
Today is an important day to recognize the extreme professionalism, bravery, courage, and preparedness of the first responders who serve us all in Washington, DC.
In the 25 years since 9/11, our first responders have shown up for many major events. Many of which, most people will never hear about.
It remains our duty to make sure that our funding, systems of support, and methods of training remain strong for those first responders.
And to make sure that we honor DC’s Bravest by honoring our commitments.
