The 30th edition of The Capitol Hill Community Guide is coming soon to your house! Your guide is a little bit user manual for living on the Hill, a little bit of a community yearbook. Open it up and find everything you need to know about life in our urban village –what an ANC is and how RPP works, or how many bags of leaves DC will collect at once. Plus, photos of the great times we’ve celebrated together as a community over the past year! Who do you know in this year’s Guide?

Police were called to Eliot-Hine Middle School (1830 Constitution Ave. NE) May 27 after a student entered the building carrying two knives. The weapons were not concealed and were observed by security personnel as the student entered the school. Most middle and high schools in the District use both a metal detector and x-ray machine as part of security. The weapons were flagged by security prior to that screening.

Jefferson hosted Caregiver Conversations: Wellness Wonderland, an evening dedicated to rest, restoration and connection for families. Caregivers enjoyed a variety of engaging wellness experiences, including yoga, mini massages, aromatherapy, mocktails and creative activities—all designed to uplift and support their well-being. Led by Connected Schools Manager, Sharon Fitzgerald, Wellness Wonderland reflected our belief that when caregivers are supported, our scholars thrive.
