DPR Offers "DPR Fun Day" on February 13 During DC Public Schools' Professional Development Days
Third of Four DPR Fun Days Held During DCPS 2014/2015 School Year
(Washington, DC) Today, the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) announced that during the 2014-2015 school year, when DC Public Schools (DCPS) are closed for staff development, the agency will offer "DPR Fun Day," a free, single-day program that offers fun and enriching activities (such as sports and athletics, arts and crafts, and more) for children between the ages 6 to 12 years old. DPR strives to meet the needs of District families when DCPS are closed for Professional Development days.
DPR Fun Day will be offered at select DPR sites on the following four days: Friday, October 10, 2014; Friday, December 5, 2014; Friday, February 13, 2015; and Friday, May 1, 2015.
DPR will offer the third Fun Day on Friday, February 13, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
