I visited Barnard Elementary School today to kick off the new year, and I'm inspired by this school's love for reading. Barnard students are a testament that DCPS’ investment in early literacy is paying off.    Thanks for hosting me, !

Since 1990, @BruceAlanWTOP has been a cornerstone of WTOP’s team and a longtime reassuring presence for morning listeners of the radio station. On Tuesday, Bruce signed off for the last time as Morning Anchor. WTOP wouldn’t be the same without him, and we wish him all the best.

This is a great profile of who has built an incredible career leading Around the Horn. It was always nice running into him in the ABC/ESPN DC bureau before his move to NYC - his energy was always on display but his kindness was clear too.
