My 6-year-old son W finished SummerQuest through @alexlibraryva about a month ago and got to see his first @Nationals game today with the tickets he earned by reading! Thanks for encouraging kids to read through this fun summer program. @JohnAdamsElem

Spending time today with all of my @TJMSBand classes to review the incredible showcase of American Arts from yesterday's Inaugural Celebrations. THANK YOU to @marineband and @TheAmandaGorman and everyone behind the scenes for helping me inspire the next generation of artists.
