  • 2019 LPF-Greater Washington Annual Report
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT G r e a t e r W a s h i n g t o n A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR Supporters, Even after six years of running Leveling the Playing Field in Washington DC I am still in awe of the support from our local youth sports community. We are so fortunate to be able to engage members of the Greater Washington community on a daily basis who feel passionately about what participation in youth sports can do for young people. It is that continued passion that led to 2019 being yet another year of deep impact for our program. Whether it was a holiday collection at The St James, a fundraiser at District Taco or being chosen as the beneficiary of the annual Morgan Stanley Tee Off for Tots Charity Golf Tournament, the perpetual investment from the community has allowed us to continue providing free sports equipment to schools and youth programs throughout the DC area. Without the support from the Washington Capitals and local youth hockey families we would not have been able to help St Mary’s Ryken HS launch a girls JV hockey program. If the local little leagues were not so willing to invite us to run collection drives at their games we would not be able to ensure that little leagues in SE DC could provide their families with free gear and keep their registration fees affordable. Were it not for local private schools bringing students to our warehouse to volunteer we would not be able to ensure that Title I schools are able to offer enhanced PE programming and after school sports activities.

I was and continue to be impressed with the passion, skill, and joy our educators bring to the classroom. The progress DCPS made in recent years was only possible because of the extraordinary talent assembled here. Our schools and city are fortunate to have you, and we want you to feel supported and sustained in your careers. Recently, the National Council on Teacher Quality recognized DCPS as a Great District for Great Teachers, with an outstanding designation. We received this distinction for several reasons, one of which is the Leadership Initiative for Teachers career ladder, or LIFT. Through LIFT, exceptional teachers are recognized and rewarded for their continued service to DCPS. Because LIFT provides opportunities for teachers to take on leadership roles without having to leave the classroom, students directly benefit from their teachers’ professional growth. In order to continue that success, we must remain focused on ensuring excellence and equity throughout the district.

  • Letter from Education Leaders in DC
    August 22, 2017 To Our DC Community, We are extremely excited about the back to school season! Schools are places where our students grow as individuals – where they learn more about themselves, how to relate to others, and important lessons about our nation. We also recognize that the events in Charlottesville, Virginia have stirred strong emotions in our District and nationwide. It is difficult to watch these horrific events unfold mere hours away from where we live. Over the past week, we’ve heard concerns and fears from residents of all ages, races, and backgrounds, fears that are justified by simply watching local news or listening to your local radio station. We, like many others, are frustrated by the race-based hatred we see in our country. As DC education leaders, we are writing today to affirm that we are unequivocally committed to protecting our schools and our young people from hatred. Let us be clear: All public schools in DC are safe places not just for students, but also for parents, families, educators, staff, and community members. Our schools are places of inclusion that value diversity in all its forms, including race, ethnic background, religion, immigration status, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, language, and family’s income level. The diversity throughout the city doesn’t just make us stronger – it is something to celebrate. As educators, it is not only our responsibility to develop students academically, but also to help them grapple with the world around them. It is our hope that we can use these events to have deep and productive conversations about inclusion and respect so that everyone in our schools feels loved, valued, and supported.
