Private Schools with Public Purpose

ONE WEEK TO GO! Have you registered for PSPP 2017? It's not too late. https://gds.myschoolapp.com/podium/default.aspx

"In the classroom, I challenge my students to explore the silences in their own lives through poetry. We work together to fill those spaces, to recognize them, to name them, to understand that they don't have to be sources of shame." Come to Georgetown Day School next week for Private Schools with Public Purpose next week to learn more from Clint Smith and other educators!

GDS is collecting books for DC's Department of Human Services--the books will be distributed at the service sites throughout D.C. If you're coming to campus next week for PSPP, we encourage you to bring a book (or two) to donate! All reading levels accepted! #PSPPinDC #PSPP2017

We're two weeks away from PSPP and the registrations are still rolling in. Have you registered yet? It's not too late! #PSPPinDC #PSPP2017 https://privateschoolspublicpurpose.org/register/

As if PSPP isn't a good enough reason to come to D.C from March 9-11...Yayoi Kusama's exhibit, Infinity Mirrors, opens tomorrow at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. We encourage you to check out all that Washington has to offer while you're in town! #PSPPinDC #PSPP2017 http://hirshhorn.si.edu/col/yayoi-kusama-infinity-mirrors/

Conference materials are in...that must mean PSPP is right around the corner! #PSPPinDC #PSPP2017

We're trying something new at PSPP this year. We are going to have a "show and tell time" on Saturday, March 11. For 45 minutes, attendees will be able to wander around and learning about exciting, innovative programming at your school/organization. It is an informal way to highlight the work that PSPP-ers are doing. Do you want to be a part of this show and tell experiment? If so, please email Catherine Pearson ([email protected]). #PSPPinDC #PSPP2017

On Friday, March 10 you will be able to hear from GDS Policy Institute fellows about the work they started last summer, including launching Life Resettled: GDS Refugee Project--an online platform that will connect refugees and educate high schoolers about the resettlement process. http://liferesettled.weebly.com/
