(Washington, DC)  –  The DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) announced that during the 2012-2013 school year, when the DC Public Schools (DCPS) have full day closures for staff development, the agency 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 Days will be offered at select DPR sites on Friday, October 19, 2012; Friday, December 14, 2012; and Friday, February 15, 2013.  On Friday, October 19th - 11 sites will offer "DPR Fun Days" from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.  Before-care will be offered from 8:00 am to 9:00 am and after-care will be offered from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm.  The over-arching theme for DPR Fun Days will incorporate DPR’s “Move, Grow, and Be Green” initiative, as DPR continues to plant the seeds of personal development and environmental responsibility.
