Fight for Children!
We went to the Ronald Reagan Building for Fight for Children's Awards Luncheon for Quality Schools, the initiative to improve student achievement in DC public, charter, and independent schools. We snapped FedEx VP Gina Adams (tan dress) and Mayor Vincent Gray surrounded by Fight for Children Board member David Fensterheim, program director Skip McKoy, CEO Michela English, and Board chair Raul Fernandez.
