STAFFORD — Stafford County Public Schools will be welcoming a new face and leader to its school system.
Dr. Scott R. Kizner’s four-year contract with the school board was unanimously approved by the school board during Tuesday’s meeting.
From an email:
Firefighters responded to the report of a house on fire at 11970 Shorewood Court in Woodbridge. Crews arrived within minutes and reported fire in the basement in the rear of the house.
Like Tom Cruise in Top Gun, officers of the Haymarket Police Department “feel the need for speed.”
And they say that in a newly created video parody of the 1986 movie made for the police lip sync challenge, a series of viral videos featuring officers in departments across the U.S. lip syncing to familiar songs.
