A new ordinance prohibiting firearms inside Manassas Park city buildings took effect January 1, following months of debate and public pushback over gun restrictions in government spaces.
The ordinance prohibits the possession, carrying, or transportation of firearms, ammunition, or firearm components within any building owned or used by the City of Manassas Park for governmental purposes.
“All Manassas Park City Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, December 5th, due to forecasted snowy conditions,” Manassas Park City Schools announced. “Code red for employees.”
The division said the closure affects all schools and staff operations as winter weather is expected to impact travel.
“Give the gift of reading this holiday season and help us strengthen literacy across Manassas Park!” Manassas Park Schools announced. “Please bring your voucher with you so the Manassas Park Education Foundation receives credit for your purchase.”
The all-day event will take place Saturday, December 6, at Barnes & Noble Manassas, featuring a holiday read-aloud at 2:30 p.m. A portion of all purchases made with the voucher will support literacy efforts for students in Manassas Park.
The community event will be held Saturday, November 15, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the MPCC Banquet Hall. Families are encouraged to arrive early, as Santa will return to the North Pole promptly at 5 p.m. Organizers note the timing offers “plenty of time to turn your photos into Christmas cards for family and friends.”
