(Washington, DC) Today, the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) announced the second DPR Fun Day will be held on Friday, February 14, 2014. DC Public Schools (DCPS) will close for the entire day for staff development, therefore DPR will offer DPR Fun Day, a single-day program offering fun and enriching activities (such as sports activities, arts & crafts, and more) for children ages 6 - 12 years old. DPR strives to meet the needs of District families when the District's public schools have planned closures.
DPR Fun Day will be offered at 12 DPR sites on Friday, February 14, 2014 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Registration for Fun Day will open on Friday, January 31 at 10 am. Before care and after care will not be offered.
