@SumnerMuseum also houses a vintage stove from former teachers' room (closet) we @ANC2B neighbors saved from @WallsAtFrancis at behest of now-retired Assistant Principal Jewel Hill. Great @dcpublicschools & US public #education resource!
The Sumner School is one of downtown D.C.’s coolest buildings, both inside and out. And it houses @dcpublicschools’ museum and archives.

I love seeing our DC students exploring the history of their #community and their school - and leveraging the rich array of resources that are right here, accessible every day @smithsonian and local archives like @SumnerMuseum! Historians in the making! @dcpublicschools
Our @paynedcps students continued their school story research with a visit to @nmaahc yesterday! Guided by scavenger hunt clues they worked their way through the museum finding relevant artifacts and photographs. #revealschoolstories
