A women’s clinic in Manassas was vandalized this week following a leaked U.S. Supreme Court opinion on abortion will increase its security.
On Sunday, May 7, sometime between 5 and 10 p.m., someone spraypainted “abortion is a right” and “liars” on the women’s health center walls. The First Care Women’s Health Health is in the 8600 block of Stonewall Road.
The renaming ceremony was delayed due to COVID-19. In June 2020, the Prince William County School Board approved a resolution to rename Stonewall Jackson Middle School to Unity Braxton Middle School. Unity Braxton honors the legacies of Carroll and Celestine Braxton. Carroll Braxton served as Master Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps and is a Congressional Gold Medal recipient. Celestine S. Braxton was as an educator with Prince William County Public Schools for 33 years.
Principal Mike Nicely hosted the renaming ceremony in the school’s auditorium.
Prince William County launched a scholarship program for its summer camp.
The Count Me In scholarship Program is provided by the Prince William County Parks Foundation and Prince William County Parks, Recreation & Tourism. Scholarships are available to eligible families who reside in Prince William County.
