As the saying goes, “April rains May flowers,” but across the school district, this month will also feature a series of events designed to empower, educate and entertain families. Here are some of them:
family fun day
Bring your kids to the Greater Tyson Temple, 3024 Massachusetts Ave. SE, for family fun day. On April 7 from 1 to 4 p.m., there will be moon bouncing, snow cones, face painting and other activities. They will also hold a church service at 11am. For more information, please contact JoElla Goodwine at 202-415-0551.
Watch the solar eclipse
The DC Public Library is providing special sunglasses for the April 8 total solar eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely covers the sun. To keep your eyes safe while viewing the eclipse, pick up your glasses from the library between April 1st and 8th. While supplies last.
Youth Empowerment and Career Incubator
Starting April 13, teens can participate in an eight-week youth empowerment and career incubator hosted by the District of Columbia nonprofit Girls and Women’s Empowerment and Development (GWED) and the District of Columbia government. For more information, call 202-704-3425.
Second Chance Career Fair
If you are looking for a new job, attend the Second Chance Job Fair on April 18 from 10am to 1pm at the DC Dream Center (2826 Q St. SE). Get free resources and job guidance. Come with you.
All listed events are free and open to the public.
