    To say that this week has been rough on everybody is an understatement. If at all possible, pause and take a moment for yourself this weekend.

    This morning we pause to recognize an icon in the lives of youth @NipseyHussle. Nipsey was a musician/community advocate who saw a need and provided a space for entrepreneurs and for young people interested in #STEM in his S. Central LA community. | #RIPNipseyHussle #Vector90

    Heroes never die. Heroes live on through their work and through the people they’ve touched. Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of the Black Panther/T’Challa made him an international star yet it was his display of community activism that showed that he was truly connected to it.

    DPS spelling bee champ Frank Dumas received quite the surprise this morning when Dr. Pascal Mubenga, Superintendent, showed up at Bethesda Elementary to present him with a bike for his hard work! Frank will participate in the national Scripps spelling bee on June 2.
