Georgetown’s Rose Park currently boasts a colorful large-scale art exhibit dubbed “The Orange Step.” Local visual artist Kiril Jeliazkov’s installation — which consists of 128 canvases, each 22 feet high and 11 feet wide — will remain at the park through June 7, according to a D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation news release. The artworks are scattered throughout Rose Park, which winds along 26th and 27th streets south of P Street NW and overlooks Rock Creek Park. The full exhibit also includes canvases along Massachusetts Avenue NW near the Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Jeliazkov hopes his artwork demonstrates “the connection between man-made art and nature, with the overarching idea that art is for everyone,” the release says. The water-based paintings use a special vinyl designed to resist the effect of sunlight and harsh weather condition. Previous stops of “The Orange Step” have included Bulgaria, Florida and California.

A dog park saved in Ward 1, thanks to $1.5 million. In Woodley Park, $200,000 for a Main Street group to help revitalize the commercial corridor. Stormwater management investments for the Van Ness, Cleveland Park and Tenleytown neighborhoods. These are some of the Northwest projects funded in the District’s $14.5 billion local budget, the biggest spending plan ever for the city. In addition to making citywide investments in education and homelessness prevention, D.C. Council members over the past month have combed the 2019 budget and the six-year capital spending plan to ensure funding for projects in their wards. In Ward 3, the budget funds the modernization of John Eaton Elementary School and additions to Key and Stoddert elementary schools, which both deal with severe overcrowding. Investments were also protected for modernizations at Ward 4 schools, D.C. Council member Brandon Todd’s office said after last week’s budget vote, including at West Education Campus, Coolidge High School, Dorothy

Street repairs were on the mind of many council members, and Ward 1’s Brianne Nadeau said her office marked $5.3 million for needed repavement on Columbia Road, 11th Street and Piney Branch Parkway. “Another $10 million in funding will go towards sidewalk repair, and $16.5 million for alley reconstruction,” Nadeau’s office announced last week. In recreation, investments were made for the modernization of the Chevy Chase Community Center, and toward amenities at Upshur Dog Park, Shepherd Elementary School and a pool at Walter Reed, Todd’s office said. Council member Nadeau found $1.5 million to purchase from See Budget/Page 8

Public art in Van Ness aims to evoke landscape, history By CUNEYT DIL

Current Correspondent

Public art made from distinctive brass pillars will find its spot on Van Ness sidewalks later this year, an attempt to create a gathering point for pedestrians on Connecticut Avenue NW. Van Ness Main Street is leading the drive to improve the commercial corridor streetscape after the community suggested the need for better place making. “One of the things the community kept saying was that gathering places are really important,” said Theresa Cameron, director of Van Ness Main Streets.

The group settled on a Virginia-based architecture firm, which has designed “Canopy,” inspired by the area’s leafy landscape. Three such installations are planned, contingent on a successful fundraising drive, according to Cameron. The first one is set to begin construction outside of 4250 Connecticut Ave. NW in July, with the work expected to take about nine months. Other project sites are located near the intersections of Albemarle Street and Van Ness Street. The brass installations include seating and will be lit at night. “A forest of folded brass pillars populates the sidewalks of Connecticut Avenue, laying an infrastructure for a bustling street

life that brings together the area’s various populations,” reads a description on the website of the design firm, After Architecture. “The trunks double as historic markers, with inscriptions that call out points of interest. … Clusters of columns form seating areas, while individual columns serve as wayfinding signage.” Van Ness Main Street has applied for a $35,000 grant from Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3F (Forest Hills, North Cleveland Park, Van Ness) as its start for fundraising. Each installation costs roughly $75,000, and fundraising will continue throughout the year, according to Cameron. ANC 3F could vote on the grant at its June

District Digest Renovated library set to open June 16

The D.C. Public Library closed the Cleveland Park Interim Library at 4340 Connecticut Ave. NW on Saturday in preparation for next month’s debut of the rebuilt Cleveland Park Library. The new library at 3310 Connecticut Ave. NW will open Saturday, June 16, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:30 a.m. The new building features ample natural light, an outdoor reading garden, two second-floor balconies with seating, and environmentally friendly features that the library system hopes will result in LEED Gold certification, according to a news release. A first-floor meeting space is able to accommodate 205 people, but can be split in half. On the lower level, two meeting rooms — each able to accommodate about 45 people — can be combined to reach a 105-person capacity. A 400-square-foot conference room on the second level can seat 10 to 12 people, and there are four private study rooms for up to four people each.

Court fight continues over new flight paths

The Citizens Association of Georgetown and other community organizations are appealing a decision by a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals, which ruled their case against the Federal Aviation Administration regarding new flight paths for Reagan Washington National Airport had been filed too late.

The FAA had put a legal notice in The Washington Post about a study of flight paths around the region. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the deadline for filing the appeal was related to the publication of the legal notice. The appeal argues that the FAA’s publication of the new departure routes was the relevant date for setting the time limits on appeals. “Newspaper publication of legal notices should not discharge the FAA’s obligation to involve the community in its rule making,� the appeal claims. The new flight patterns create considerable noise in Georgetown, the Palisades, and several other parts of the District as well as parts of Montgomery County, Md.

D.C. seeks input on dockless bicycles

The D.C. Department of Transportation is seeking feedback through June 1 on dockless bicycles and scooters in the District via an online survey, available at ddot.dc.gov/page/ dockless-vehicles-district. Last month, the agency announced an extension of its dockless vehicle demonstration project through August in order to obtain data during the “high season for bike riding.� Officials said they will continue working to find solutions to concerns raised by community members since the launch last October. Riders and non-riders are

invited to respond to the survey. Feedback can also be sent via email to dockless.bikes@dc.gov.

Corrections

In the May 9 issue, an article stated incorrectly that Crown Castle installs its small cell technology boxes on trees. Also, the company says that its master license agreement with the District — available online at octo. dc.gov/page/small-cells — does not allow the installation of additional equipment without further design review, contrary to a general concern expressed by Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2E chair Joe Gibbons.

VIEWPOINT

Should workers who get most of their earnings from tips be entitled to the same minimum wage — directly from their employers, not withstanding any gratuities — as those who do not receive tips? With Initiative 77, District residents will decide this question come the June 19 primary election. All registered voters are eligible to vote on the initiative, even independents who cannot participate in the party primaries. Tipped workers in the District currently receive a minimum wage of $3.33 from their employers, a figure that is due to rise to $5 by 2020 under current law. By statute, if the workers’ tips do not bring them up to the standard minimum wage (currently $12.50, but due to reach $15 on July 1, 2020), their employers must make up the difference. To ensure compliance, establishments must file quarterly reports on tipped workers’ incomes. If an employee’s total income is less than the minimum wage, the District will fine the employer. If this happens repeatedly, the business could lose its operating license. Should the initiative pass and tipped workers’ wage levels increase, many servers and bartenders could end up with considerably more than other minimum wage workers if the tips they receive remain constant. On the other hand, if restaurant and bar patrons decide the new law justifies lower tips, servers could lose out. From all the evidence we have seen, raising the wage level will result in higher prices since restaurant and bar owners will be spending more out of pocket. Many restaurateurs are likely to add a “service charge” to their bills, which would discourage patron tipping. Many are also likely to reduce their wait staffs, as has occurred elsewhere after implementation of similar measures. Here in the District, most tipped workers receive far more than the minimum wage when tips and pay are combined, though that is often not true in some mom-and-pop establishments where customer bills and gratuities tend to be smaller. Proponents of the initiative have raised some legitimate issues — such as the failure of a few employers to follow existing law — but we believe the District can address many of these concerns through better enforcement. At this point, we don’t think it’s wise to create tremendous uncertainty for the many restaurant and bar workers who say they do quite well under the current practices and vocally oppose this change. Voters ought to reject Initiative 77.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CurreNTNewspapers.Com

offer new opportunities for retail and a more attractive streetscape, using the Zoning Commission’s Planned Unit Development review process to slightly increase the height of the existing building from 50 feet to 65 feet. For the 42nd Street, Garrison Street and Harrison Street sides, the building heights will step down so that all neighbors will see is an attractive facade of row houses at the same height as their homes. This redevelopment plan is a no-brainer. It’s exactly what we need to attract quality retail to a busy part of Wisconsin Avenue, right next to Metro, while increasing affordable housing. It’s completely in scale with the existing neighborhood. And yet, a very small but vocal minority is already screaming in opposition, arguing to keep

an empty parking lot and unsightly tower to avoid even a modest increase in density. This reflects the vocal opposition to the Urban Investment Partners project to redevelop 4620 Wisconsin Ave. in Tenleytown, including the frivolous lawsuit now levied to stop work there despite ANC 3E and Zoning Commission approval. The experience there portends what is likely to happen as the plans for the Fox 5 project move forward. Fortunately, our neighborhood is changing. Many of the newer residents and families with young children want to see new retail and restaurants that these kinds of developments are already bringing in Tenleytown. We are among them — some of us living just steps from the Fox 5 building. And we’re organizing under the

umbrella of Revive3E, a group of neighbors willing to stand up to those opposed to all change so we can make our voices heard. The Fox 5 project will be the next battle in this fight. Anyone who wants new and vibrant restaurants, coffee shops and retail on upper Wisconsin Avenue should join in. Anyone who thinks new, affordable housing is better than unused parking lots and eyesore radio towers should join in. With smart engagement with the developers early on, we can have the revitalization we need without destroying the character of our neighborhood.

Partnership spruces up Chevy Chase Circle By RUTH ROBBINS Guest Contributor

It has been years in the making, but for the first time since their installation in 1956, Chevy Chase Circle has a full set of new benches — and now, one of the major gateways to the nation’s capital and a neighborhood landmark has been transformed and restored thanks to a partnership between the National Park Service and the Friends of Chevy Chase Circle. Funds for the repairs were obtained through a public-private grant initiative under the National Park Service’s Centennial Challenge program in 2016. Half of the $38,000 needed for the benches was contributed by the federal government, and the other half was obtained through the Friends of Chevy Chase Circle and the donations solicited from residents in both D.C. and Maryland. All the work was completed by the National Park Service, which deployed a special unit from the National Mall’s carpentry shop. As this was a special assignment that required a particular set of skills, agency workers could be seen on the circle on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the month of April and into May. Not only did the existing concrete stanchions have to be re-drilled, but since the benches encircle the fountain and the backs of the benches are curved, installing the solid wood

A public-private partnership has brought upgrades to the circle.

backings and seats required special techniques. The style of the benches is in keeping with a style of bench seen throughout the National Park Service sites in the District of Columbia and was reinstalled at the circle to maintain the historical nature and design of the park. The Friends of Chevy Chase Circle group has been working to maintain and upgrade the circle, and some of those changes — along with the new benches — are in evidence now, even to the driveby motorist. The 2,500 red and purple tulips enjoyed this spring were purchased last fall by the Friends of Chevy Chase Circle and then planted by the Park Service. Six new willow oaks were installed last spring, and for the first time in decades, the circle has its full complement of 30 trees encircling its outer perimeter. Perhaps the Friends’ biggest project to date has been rehabbing the traffic “splitters” that sit imme-

diately north and south of the circle. These two triangles in the midst of Connecticut Avenue were a weed-infested eyesore, and although there had been attempts in past years to remedy the problem, until the Friends of Chevy Chase Circle took it on, there had been no attempt to coordinate the north and south triangles into one consistent, landscaped design. With the help of Kristina Kent Gardens, the Friends of Chevy Chase Circle worked with the National Park Service on the south triangle and Maryland’s State Highway Administration on the north triangle to obtain permits to care for and landscape the triangles. Allium, Russian sage, coreopsis, veronica and two different species of grasses were installed, among other hearty and droughtresistant perennials. Through continued donations and the support of residents and businesses, a commercial landscaper has been hired to maintain the triangles. The circle is a National Park Service property. It is through partnerships like the Friends of Chevy Chase Circle and its board of volunteers that residents and businesses can bring to the circle the kind of upgrades and changes that they would like to see. For more information about current projects or contact information, visit FriendsofChevyChaseCircle.org. Ruth Robbins is president of the Friends of Chevy Chase Circle.

VAN NESS: Public art planned

From Page 1

“We don’t have a complete fundraising plan because we wanted to wait and meet with the ANC and then start moving forward,� Cameron said. The search for designs began with eight artists and winnowed down to three. The design committee of the Main Street group settled on After Architecture,

which produced “Canopyâ€? after researching the neighborhood’s past a century back. “I think a lot of people are going to be interested in this because Van Ness ‌ has people who have really high expectations and really like projects that are well thought out,â€? Cameron told ANC 3F. “We worked really hard to make this project as community-driven as possible.â€?

Target to open small-format store in Ward 4 next year Target has announced plans to open a 30,000square-foot store next year in Shepherd Park at the corner of Georgia and Eastern avenues NW. Slated to open in mid- to late 2019, the smallformat store will include a grocery with fresh produce, apparel and some home decor and accessories. The building is owned by Douglas Development, which this spring dropped plans for a mixeduse project at the site amid litigation over zoning approval. The new Target store will offer online ordering

and store pickup, with almost all the orders being ready in under an hour. It will also offer same-day delivery services. The chain currently has a store on 14th Street in Columbia Heights, with plans in the works for additional D.C. locations in Cleveland Park and Ivy City. Target, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minn. is the nation’s second-largest discount store chain after Walmart. The new Shepherd Park store will produce 55 new jobs.

BUDGET: Council funds varied Northwest projects From Page 1

Metro a small grassy site at 11th and Park Road NW. Metro sought to redevelop the land, which had turned into a gathering place for residents and dogs. The city will now take over the land and “pay for needed upgrades and beautification,� Nadeau’s office said. In addition, her office found funding in the 2019 budget to extend Marie Reed pool hours into the weekend, in addition to bringing morning pool hours next summer at Banneker Recreation Center and Park View Community Center. A small park at Lamont and 19th Streets NW also has funds for improvements in the budget. For the Martin Luther King Jr.

Memorial Library, which is undergoing extensive renovation, $500,000 has been restored and $300,000 added over the next two years to D.C. Public Library system’s budget to fund interim space for the historic Washingtonia collection. Environmental investments include $350,000 for stormwater management upgrades at Hearst Park. There is $8 million budgeted to build Tenleytown Plaza, enhance the Van Ness Commercial Corridor on Connecticut Avenue, and complete a stormwater drainage project in Cleveland Park, aimed at preventing flooding and updating aging sidewalk infrastructure. The D.C. Council will take a final vote on the local budget on

May 29, with final passage of related budget legislation on June 5. For his part, Ward 2 D.C. Council member Jack Evans noted the budget’s investments in education, including a 3.9 percent increase in per-student funding. He’s also repeating calls for prudent spending. “As the Council just approved this enormous budget the city and agencies need to do a better job of knowing exactly how our money is spent,� Evans said in a weekly newsletter. “When the District allocates money to DCPS, which has been hit hard by reports of multiple scandals in the past five months, it’s more important than ever to make sure they use it wisely and efficiently.�

spotlight on schools Blessed Sacrament School

Like many of my classmates, I am in our school’s children’s choir. Along with learning and performing new songs, we have the privilege of taking a trip to Hershey Park in Hershey, Penn. The choir is not the only group of people who get to go; our band and patrols also get to attend. This year’s trip is on June 7, the second to last day of school. It is a great way to end the year. We will all get to school and take tour buses to Hershey Park. It is close enough to D.C. for a day trip. Hershey Park has many fun rides and food options (including Hershey candy). It is perfect for a one-day adventure. The fifth- and sixth-graders have chaperones, but we have a lot of freedom of which rides we go on and where we eat lunch. At the end of the day, we all meet up at the gift shop and take the bus back to school. Our school’s Hershey Park trip is super fun and creates lots of great memories. We are lucky to be able to go on such a great trip. — Chloe Flax, sixth-grader

The IB is a “two-year educational program that aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge — students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically”, according to the IB website. At the end of these two years, IB students take exams in each of their subjects that cover content from both years of the program. Every year, the exam period brings about a flourish of activity, from last-minute studying, to good luck wishes, to tiptoeing in the hallways. The entire school community is invested in the success of the Year 13 students, and all students and teachers breathed a sigh of relief when these stressful exams ended this week. Another exciting activity for the school community was the prom, which took place on May 18 at Dumbarton House in Georgetown. The theme of this year’s prom was ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. The prom committee (comprised of Year 12 students) kept to the theme by stringing fairy lights on trees, placing lanterns along the garden walkways and hanging ivy from the chandelier. Despite the inclement weather, students had a wonderful time celebrating with their classmates. — Ava Lundell, Year 12 Student (11th-grader)

Emerson Preparatory School

As the year wraps up, fun activities are in full swing here at

School DISPATCHES Emerson. The yearbook club has already ensured that everyone will have a book of memories from the 2017-18 school year; the ACLU club has organized an endof-the-year visit to Casa Ruby, a nonprofit for LGBTQ+ people in need; and the astronomy class has just returned from a camping trip in Shenandoah National Park. Most excitingly, our prom plans are near completion. “If you want it, you gotta work for it,” says Ms. Blackburn, our registrar who has worked tirelessly as head of the Student Government Association and organizer of the prom. She coordinated the entirety of the event, but insists that “without the parents’ support, there would be no prom.” Student volunteers have been decorating our gym and cooking up delicious soul food for guests. This is the first prom that Emerson has hosted in modern history. Now that we have a new space for our school, the Emerson community has worked to take advantage of our new location to give students larger school opportunities while keeping our familial, small school environment. By working with the Thurgood Marshall Center, we were able to use the gym as a party venue to celebrate the end of the school year. — Isabel Fajardo, 11th-grader

Holy Trinity School Georgetown

Field day is a fun and competitive way for Holy Trinity School students to end the school year with a bang! The students split into the Blue and White teams, representing the school colors. The team that wins gets the Tiny Titan painted their team color (the tiny titan is the school mascot). Activities include sack races, a three-legged race, wheelbarrow, and many more! At the end there is a tug-of-war that can decide it all. We stay with our grade during the events even though we are on a team with half the school. It is most likely the most competitive day of the year! At lunch parents prepare really good food — burgers and hot dogs. They also have ice cream as a treat! During field day it can be easy to forget that you’re at school! — Claire Patterson and Madison Gray, fifth-graders

Lafayette Elementary

The last few weeks are going to be special for the fifth-graders at Lafayette. They are graduating this year, and friends are going to different middle schools. Leaving will be hard for many students, especially those who have been here since pre-K — that’s seven years at Lafayette! That’s not all, though. The fifth-graders are busy preparing for a science fair on May 23, and

the whole school will come to see it. Each fifth-grader choses a topic, tests out the hypothesis by conducting experiments, and finally presents the findings on a nice poster board. The fourth-graders also have exciting news. They are preparing for their state fair, in which every fourth-grader gets to research a particular state. It begins when each student pulls a state out of a hat, researches the state, and makes a lovely poster. It ends with a suitcase full of interesting state items and a visit from every class to the state fair. Yummy state foods are made and enjoyed by fourth-graders and parents. So you may think we are going to chill down as the end of the year approaches, but at Lafayette you are so WRONG! — Sonali Cohen, fifth-grader

MacFarland Middle School

On March 14, our whole school took banners and posters we made to protest outside for 17 minutes to honor the 17 students who died in the shooting in Florida. During the protest, another neighborhood school, Center City, joined us. People driving by honked their horns in support. Less than a week later, on March 19, at around 3:10 p.m. when we were trying to exit the school for dismissal, the security guards and the principal told us to return to our fourth-period class. Later, the teachers told us to get away from the windows and to get under the tables because they received an email from the principal saying that we were on lockdown because of a possible shooting nearby. Students contacted

Fifth-graders at Sheridan School enjoyed canoeing and other outdoor activities on a trip this month to the school’s Mountain Campus. their parents to let them know what was going on. Parents and students were scared, but teachers tried to keep the children calm. Finally, the principal came to every classroom to let the students know they could go home. Many parents came to pick up their children. It was a scary experience. — Tiera Asonio and Senayda Monge, sixth-graders

Our Lady of Victory School

On May 11, the seventh grade at Our Lady of Victory held a poetry slam. We have been preparing for this for a while. We had several assignments where we had to write our own poems. The seventh-graders have been studying different topics all year long, including forms and elements of poetry, and it was time to showcase our talents to our parents. The elements of poetry in the poems that we performed included alliteration, personification, rhyme and free verse. We all were required to recite one origi-

nal poem, but many of us chose to perform another with a friend. All of the poems were from previous assignments or projects. Everyone’s poem was unique to his or her own personality, and all were very creative and fun. Some poems were about staying true to yourself; others were about nature and seasons; and some were humorous, earning quite a few laughs and snaps. Overall, everybody agreed that it was a great way to end poetry month. — Amen A., seventh-grader

St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School

In science, Grade 4 students are helping the American shad population grow. To help the shad, we are building our own fish hatchery in our science lab. We are using recycled materials like old lumber and old garbage cans. Once the hatchery is completed, we will put over 500 shad eggs in the hatchery for about a See Dispatches/Page 18

REPEAT REHAB? GET OFF THE REHAB TRAIN! Washington Pain Clinic offers safe, non-addictive, proven protection for opiate and alcohol relapse with no mood altering properties No worries about missed medication or multiple office visits Misuse and addiction to opiates, including prescription pain relievers and synthetic opioids, is a serious crisis affecting many across our country including Washington, DC and the surrounding metro area. Naltrexone is recognized as the leading non-addictive medication in medically assisted treatment for the disease of opiate and alcohol addiction. A monthly injection of Naltrexone (Vivitrol) has been the most effective method to date.

But Naltrexone must be renewed each month in order to be effective, and it is proven that patients suffering with substance use disorder (SUD) can be resistant to repeated visits to the doctor for monthly injections.

Introducing the BioCorRX Implant: A one-time procedure that offers long-term protection from its patented time-release capsule, the BioCorRX Implant is placed under the skin during a brief method in the doctor’s office. The Naltrexone blocker is non-addictive with no mood altering properties and no repeat visits. The recovering addict can now pursue their recovery without fear of an accidental relapse due to a missed dose of medication. Dr. John Dombrowski at Washington Pain Clinic’s Medical Relapse Solutions guides the patient through the Naltrexone implant process with a caring manner and vast experience with the implant procedure.

3 Steps to Recovery with the Naltrexone Implant Procedure: 1) Schedule a visit for an eligibility consultation. 2) Once determined as eligible, an implant procedure is performed in the doctor’s office. 3) Comprehensive individualized discharge plans are provided to the patient and family. Insurance is accepted for office visits and may cover a portion of the implant procedure. A graduate of Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1989, Dr. John Dombrowski M.D. FASA, also holds a diplomate from the American Board of Addictions. He is a frequent contributor on NBC’s Today Show and ABC’s Good Morning America. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact Washington Pain Clinic at (202) 362-4787.

completion: New town homestyle condominiums have opened as Georgia Row at Walter Reed and are selling quickly. Visitors were allowed to tour the homes during an open house this past weekend. Craftmark Homes is building the 60-unit condo project with consumer needs in mind, including sunlit rooms and spacious kitchens. Each home incorporates energy-efficient LED lighting and includes a stacked washer and dryer, and the building has brick facades with natural stone accents. “One of the things that really attracts people to this area is that it’s undergoing rapid change,� said Daniel Robinson, sales assistant for Craftmark Homes. Across from the Georgia Row homes, the expansive Walter Reed campus is being redeveloped for a mix of retail, hotel, restaurant, residential and educational uses, as part of a project that will include substantial open space. The Georgia Row town houses, located on Georgia Avenue

Georgia Row at Walter Reed held an open house last weekend. The Blair design, shown, includes two or three bedrooms with a den. between Fern Place and Elder Street NW, will offer easy access to the site’s planned amenities, but Craftmark Homes was mindful of keeping costs down for buyers when designing its project. “We wanted to provide affordable living,� so buyers can choose standard design elements in the base price or pay for upgraded features, said Laina Lee, a lead sales manager for Georgia Row and vice president of McWilliams Ballard. The condos come in three options — The Adams (A), The Blair (B) and The Carter (C) — and range in price from $379,900 to $744,900. The Adams units, located on the building’s lower level, open into a combination

It is located on the mid-level floor, with a walk upstairs to a larger kitchen/living room combination. On the top level is The Carter: a two- or three-bedroom option with twoand-a-half baths that also includes a large roof deck with space for an outdoor table and couch. Previously, buyers could choose “upgraded� options for the design and style of their homes. But according to McWilliams Ballard marketing coordinator Rachel Hughes, “we are pretty far along in construction at this stage, so most of the options are standard.�

Phase 1 of Georgia Row constituted 24 homes that have already been sold, and about 75 percent of the homes in the second phase are claimed as well. Phase 3 offers design options in pre-selected packages. Lee said that buyers who truly want to customize can do so in Phase 4, which is expected to be completed by the end of August. “Right now when you purchase a unit you get solid wood cabinets; dovetail drawers; highefficiency, stainless steel appliances; quartz countertops; and hardwood floors,� Lee said. The stairs for each unit come with carpet. A couple prospective buyers at the open house did express concern about the walk from the front door to The Carter unit, which is on the uppermost floor.

Robinson said the community response to the new housing has been great. “We have had a couple neighbors ‌ come through that were just floored,â€? he said. “The developers are working so closely with the rest of the city in terms of bringing something that is representative of the city and the optimism the community holds.â€? Georgia Row is about a 0.6mile walk to the Silver Spring Metrorail station, but has a bus stop immediately in front. Optional on-site parking is available, as is bicycle storage.

Each group of travel agents researches different countries, makes the destination decision, and plans out an amazing trip for their client.

On May 2, Sheridan School fifth-graders headed to the Mountain Campus for our spring trip. We went for two nights. During the trip, we did a lot of things, including canoeing, testing water quality, team building and cooking over a campfire. One of the main focuses was canoeing. First, everyone had river school. We learned different strokes using paddles, and we learned about different patterns of the river. This was to help us pre-

pare for what was ahead. Then, we got into our canoes and pushed off. We had to manage ourselves from there. Along the way, we hit small rapids, and some canoes got stuck. The instructors were there to help, and in the process, one group got free and another capsized. The canoe trip was exhilarating! The trip also gave us the chance to exercise our responsibility and independence, helping us prepare for sixth-grade wilderness experiences. One of the things we did was practice cooking over a campfire. This trip helped us deepen our shared connection, and we learned a lot! — Maddie Aebersold-Burke and Hannah Danin, fifth-graders

Washington International School

The fifth-graders recently returned from Calleva Farms, where they spent three days and two nights surrounded by nature! The experience included a tour of the farm; zip lining; rope courses; and a day of caving, rock climbing, horseback riding, stand-uppaddling or kayaking. We learned about the importance of “P.U.A.,� which stands for positivity, unity and awareness. These skills were crucial when facing the challenges that the courses put in our way. A highlight of the first day was the Giant Swing. A person wearing a harness was hung onto the swing, and then hauled up to 30 feet high by the rest of the group. The person was released and swung back and forth to a halt. The Giant Swing was a thrilling coaster that nobody regretted trying! Lastly, we slept in tents, which was quite an adventure for those who had never been camping! Except for the little bugs that slipped into some tents, it was very exciting and a little scary, but fun anyway. Exhausted but happy, we returned to school on Wednesday. — Ilaria Luna, fifth-grader
