Ross “students, faculty and staff represent the rich cultural and racial diversity of our city, and Ross is a safe and inclusive place for all families, especially LGBTQ+ families.” They would like to run the SOOS program because “Ross has a long history in Dupont Circle that should be known, preserved, and shared widely… [this project] will inspire an even greater commitment to the preservation…and provide past, present and future students and their families with a sense of pride…”
Ross Elementary School
The goal of this partnership is to run a 2 year project that empowers students from Ross to research the history of their school and uncover the stories of their surrounding community. Using the students’ findings, we will create a permanent, museum-quality exhibit that shares their “school story” with the broader community. This exhibit will be installed in the school’s main lobby in the fall of 2026.
