We citizens of the Potomac Magisterial District and the 31st House of Delegates District need effective representation.
The election of Andrea Bailey to the Potomac District seat on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and Sara Townsend to the 31st Virginia House of Delegates District seat in the Virginia General Assembly on November 3 will meet this need.
When I first met Mr. Joseph George, one of the candidates running for Neabsco District School Board, it was at Minnieville Elementary School in 2010 where both our daughters were attending 3rd Grade.
We began talking and it became apparent early on in our conversation that he was very involved with his children and their school lives. Throughout the years I’ve known him, he has always been willing to volunteer to make his children happy, as well as others, by becoming Santa during the Holidays and or by being the first to step up if help was needed in the classroom.
In less than a week, voters will head to the polls here in Virginia to cast their ballots for representation in the Virginia General Assembly.
It is imperative that we send a message and elect leaders who support women’s health care—now and in the future. For too long, anti-choice advocates have attempted to defund Planned Parenthood. They have failed in the past and they will fail again.

In the game of Recycle Rush®, alliances of three robots driven by students work together to lift totes and recycling bins into tall stacks to earn points.

Each robot and its unique features are designed, built, and programmed by students. “It’s more than the thrill of robot performance.

Although there is much ado about The Event this weekend as we try and bring as many people into Georgetown South as possible so they can donate to “Reyna’s Children,” we may be losing sight of the woman behind the cause.
Her name is Reyna Torres Alatriste who I watched break down in tears as she realized that her idea of sending her children to Mexico ahead of her so she could fight the cancer here was a ridiculous idea because she would not last any time at all without being able to see her kids, Yarizel (11), Rebecca (10), Marking (5) and Esther (3).
