Depressed by the steady stream of newspaper articles documenting the city’s severe learning loss? We have an amazing antidote. Come see students’ brilliance on vivid display!

 

Since early in the fall, One World students have been working intensely on essays, stage presentations, and poster boards, all on social justice topics that matter to them. They will be shared at the One World Challenge on December 15. Join us to see why it has become one of the city’s preeminent education events, regularly featured in the Washington Post.
