Meet Mrs. Crystal Harper | ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× DC Benning Campus
ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× DC is proud to celebrate the contributions of our families in the ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ×. This month, we’re spotlighting Mrs. Crystal Harper, a DC native and a parent of two ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ×sters at our Benning Campus. She’s been part of the ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× DC ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× for ten years and is always excited to volunteer on campus.Â
Mrs. Harper works full-time for NASA and loves spoiling the Benning ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× with exclusive merchandise. “Every year during Teacher Appreciation Day, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, etc., I ensure the science teachers have whatever cool item NASA is giving away, such as stickers, pins, or even kits to build mini rockets!“
She enjoys volunteering for field trips and building relationships with staff to have an open line of communication. “Volunteering my time to support my children’s educational experience is important. I’m determined to be present and available for the Benning Campus. I formed meaningful relationships with educators throughout the years due to my presentence and availability.“
Her involvement with ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× DC stems from the desire to see her children excel and the support received from the staff. “The ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× DC ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× embodies family connection. The administrators, the principal, and the office personnel truly care for our children. The attention they need from teachers to thrive, and excel is provided daily. I love the passion behind academics at ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× DC.“
When she’s not volunteering on campus or working at NASA, she enjoys attending her children’s extracurricular activities and practicing her crafting skills by doing DIY projects. We are thrilled to have her as a ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× member and February’s Parent Spotlight!
