“Tomorrow, our giant panda cub will be eight weeks old! Mei Xiang has always been a devoted mother to her cubs, and this little guy is no exception. She still spends the majority of her time in the den with him. Lately, he’s been practicing crawling in the area where there is no bedding. An ever-watchful mom, Mei Xiang allows her son to let out some of his energy but doesn’t let him venture too far. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Will my insurance go up after a bullet hits my car? A stray bullet went through the side of my car parked on the unit block of O Street, NW last night. I did not notice my car was hit until I saw police asked me about it. I’m worried about my rates going up if I file a claim. What’s the best course of action?” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
As a DCPS teacher (who would prefer to stay anonymous) I wanted to send this because, while most of the DCPS reopening focus has been on the health and safety factors of reopening (understandably so), very little discussion has been had on how logistically terrible the plan is for students, families, and teachers.
As an example, I am a fifth grade math teacher in a school with 50 5th graders. 10 of our Students will be back in school, and will be taught by either myself or the 5th grade ELA teacher. This means that the remaining 40 students would no longer have access to the teacher they have spent the last two months learning routines, skills and structures from. DCPS has offered no further clarity on who would take on that teaching role, but I don’t think it’s out of turn to say that they wouldn’t not be as effective working with the group as I would be.

“Dear PoPville,
We just re-launched our Emergency Weekend Bag Program this past Friday, this time serving nearly 700 families across several DC public schools. While many grab-and-go sites across the city are open to anyone, our team has worked closely with school administrators and staff to identify kids and families who most need this support, and then invite them to pick-up the bags at designated times at specific, convenient sites these families know and trust.
