(WASHINGTON, DC) – With the DC Public Schools' (DCPS) Spring Break just around
the corner, from April 15 through April 19, Mayor Muriel Bowser is encouraging
families to take advantage of programming through the Department of Parks and
Recreation (DPR) and DC Public Libraries (DCPL) that keep children and teens
safe and engaged while they are out of school. DPR is specifically inviting
teens to take advantage of Teen Break Time programming, which caters to
teenagers and provides safe spaces to gather, socialize, and play. Get the full
list of DPR’s Teen Break Time activities on the Teen Break Time
