UPDATE: PRESCHOOL REVIEWS AND NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS

I have scheduled seven preschool visits so far, and have learned an incredible amount just by speaking to the directors. They all are eager to have me (and Milo) come and tour their centers, and agree that there is no comprehensive site for information like this. My first visit is today, so check back for the review soon. 

In other neighborhood news, there are two activities this weekend you all should know about. The first is a celebration of the 5 year anniversary of the Dupont Circle Parents Listserv. The details are as follows:

What: "Pot luck" Picnic

When: This Saturday, September 5

Where: Stead Park Field  (bring blankets to spread out on the grass)

Time: 12 noon - 3pm.

Stead's bathroom and clubhouse facilites close at 4pm.

 The second super cool event this holiday weekend is the Ross Elementary School fundraiser. 

What: Labor Day Pig roast and BBQ contest sponsored by Local 16, St. Ex, and Bar Pilar.

When: Monday, September 7, from 11am- 5pm. 

Where: Cafe St. Ex 1847 14th ST NW

Come and join the neighborhood fun where there will be face painting $3, fresh lemonade $3 and raffle prizes for a $5 donation.
