Re: [WardFive] Join the conversation on improving Ward 5 schools (IFF closure recommendations), Tuesday at 6pm at Providence Hospital

What U Talking About Willis? Seriously! Where did you get this information?

The community should and must participate in this dialouge and more importantly be there to raise fundamental questions about the validity of this IFF study which was funded by the Walton Family Foundation; Where is the objectivity in a study that is paid for by the same foundation that supports and funds charter schools yet pushes for closure or charter take over of public schools? Why are the Deputy Mayor and DCPS seeking the recommendations of IFF, a real-estate consulting company, to guide educational reform in DC? These are just a couple of questions that need to be raised tomorrow night.

Dear Ward 5,

Please help support this young man. If you read what his father Vaughn presented, he is truly exceptional. Hopefully he continues on this track, gets the exposure, receives a college scholarship where he can get exposed to the type of coaching that would possible take him to the next level. You can also stop by the Cafe and drop donations off. Every bit will be helpful and appreciated. About Jabari below;

Background on Jabari

Jabari Bennett is currently 12 years old and is the #1 Ranked 13 year old Shot Put Thrower in the Country and competes in the 13/14 yr old catagory. In this Catagory, he is ranked 13th in the country. Last week, at USATF National Junior Olympics Championships, he placed 6th overall. Considering Jabari turns 13 on December 28th, the 5 national competitors placing ahead of Jabari last week are over 2 years older than he is. An Awesome Local Story.

Why Help!

Currently, His parent is unemployed and but earns a living teaching a few kids how to play Chess. $857.02 was borrowed by Mr. Bennett to purchase round trip tickets and we are hoping to raise a total of $1600 to help him offset the price of these tickets, a rental car and hotel for July 30 thru Aug 2nd. Please help us raise the funds to allow his son to partcipate in this AAU National Junior Olympic Championship event without causing hardship on the family. Donate Now https://fundly.com/bcafe
