DC Public Education Fund Young Professional Committee Members Support Schools at DCPS Beautification Day

August 21, 2010-- DC Public Education Fund Young Professional Committee (YPC) members and friends joined volunteers across the city in taking part in DCPS Beautification Day 2010. The annual day of service, established in 2005, is the official day for a citywide “spruce up” of all DC Public Schools’ buildings and grounds in preparation for the first day of school. YPC members and volunteers took the lead at Ron Brown Middle School as they partnered with school staff and teachers to plant flowers, pick up trash inside and outside of the school building, paint doors, and landscape around the grounds.

The Young Professionals Committee (YPC), chartered in February of 2010, is committed to supporting strategic education reform within DC Public Schools by increasing the number of people who are knowledgeable about DCPS and education reform, and by raising funds to support efforts to improve public education in Washington, D.C. Thanks to all Young Professional Committee members and friends who helped prepare Ron Brown Middle School to open its doors on the first day of school!
