Honored to have been at the NSCP reception in Ward 6  (Feeder V) talking with parents, administrators, and others who care about education. This kind of interaction is important if we are to improve public education.

As always an informative, collaborative and blood-boiling experience.  : ) In all seriousness, I truly value this experience.  Thank you and see you in the spring!

I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to you and the team at NSCP for your generous support of the Arthur Capper seniors who were affected by the fire on September 19, 2018. The holiday celebration showed the effort you went through to make sure the seniors had a memorable event. The luncheon, gift cards, gift bags, items collected by Richard Wright Public Charter School students and more was well received by the seniors. NSCP's compassionate response shows that community spirit is alive and well. When rough times fall upon our residents, we are grateful for partners like you who respond with generosity and an eagerness to help. 

Capper Seniors

The 3rd anniversary of NSCP commemorates a strong organization that, with no exaggeration, shatters even our wildest expectations back in the early days. I love the river, love the community and will forever be proud of the fingerprints that I leave behind.

(Mike, NSCP cannot thank you enough for believing in the organization. We are here as a result of your help and leadership. You may have left the area, but NSCP is still your family).

Another great NSCP Feed the Feeder event where I got to hear directly from Ward 6 principals and parents.

Amidon Soiree

I'll chime in to give kudos to Anne and Bruce Darconte. I was nearby yesterday, and Anne and Bruce definitely saved some lives. Anne said she was up in her loft and saw flames shooting through the roof and went running over. No alarms, no sprinklers going off, so they banged on doors. Later at the community center, Anne and Bruce were right there helping and I think they also coordinated all the sandwiches that were brought in. The residents and responders didn't have enough masks, and I had a box of HEPA masks so I came home to get them. By the time I returned, someone (I think Anne or Bruce) had gone to Harris Teeter and bought them out of Medical-type masks, which they distributed. They also brought bags of personal supplies (toothpaste, etc).  
It takes major guts to run into a burning building and a lot of heart to stick around and help out afterwards. So I do want to go on record to thank Anne and Bruce for their efforts. Huge impact on the entire community. Thank you!

Capper Building Fire

On behalf of Miner Elementary School, I would like to convey appreciation and deepest thanks to you, Near Southeast Community Partners and your WNBC4 affiliates for your generous donation of  backpacks filled with a variety of school supplies, a case of composition notebooks and crayons , folders and glue sticks on April 4, 2018! Generous gifts from donors like you provide the tangible support needed to continue our mission of providing for the needs of our students. Your contributions demonstrate your commitment to our cause.

Marty, just a quick note to congratulate you and your Feed the Feeder colleagues on a great event last night.  It is quite impressive what you all have built in terms of the DCPS Ward 6 community.  I enjoyed meeting the principals and parent reps from other DCPS Middle Schools (Stuart-Hobson, Eliot-Hine, Jefferson, etc.)  I also want to let you, Tilman, and Kishan know that Steven and I took advantage of the opportunity to share our view on Hardy's tech needs with the new Deputy Mayor for Education (Paul Kihn).
 

Thanks again and congratulations on a successful event.

CSF was pleased to partner with NSCP again this year to provide program supplies  in support of activities that we provided in the Capitol Quarter Community Center. We are extremely appreciative for funding received  from NSCP that enabled us to impact the community in a positive way. The funding allowed for the purchase of sewing and yoga equipment, chairs, laptops, laptop safe, books and recreational equipment.  These items are used by community residents in an effort to help improve their lives.
