Last night we also headed to the 4th annual art night hosted by the DC Education Fund at the Pepco Edison Place Gallery to celebrate arts in DC Public Schools. We snapped its co-chairs Peggy Cooper Cafritz and Debbi Jarvis, and prez Catherine Townsend, surrounding DC Public Schools chancellor Kaya Henderson.
