MANASSAS, Va. – Christina Ross is $2,000 richer today. But the Manassas teacher who was honored by the Virginia Lottery says her work with students is far more rewarding than any cash prize.

Ross, a civics teacher at Osbourn Park High School, is a Virginia Lottery’s “Super Teacher of the Year” for 2013. She was presented a $2,000 check Wednesday in front of her students, fellow teachers, and local school officials who gathered inside the school’s library to surprise her.


DUMFIRES, Va. — What officials want: Dumfries’ $4.4 million budget reduced by as much as four cents. While that may not sound like much, it amounts up to a $60,000 cut in town services.

At Tuesday night’s Town Council meeting, leaders tasked Town Manager Daniel Taber coming up with a way to fund the town’s needs, implement tax cuts, and take into consideration council members’ individual wants for the coming fiscal year. He’s to report back to them with a balanced budget in two weeks, detailing what services he intends to cut to make it all work.
