Such a wonderful story. Glad to see some of my former students working for such a great cause!

I tried to ask questions about the program and found it to be a very narrow fit. Guidance at OHS was…Read More not helpful and the process through NVCC appeared to be far from streamlined, especially if you wanted to deviate at all (i.e., lean toward a teaching degree). Plus the presentations about the program occurred AFTER class sign ups so that you would have to deal with OHS Guidance again to make changes. It sounded like a decent program that didn't have the logistics worked out. I hope they stick with the idea but allow more kids to modify to their needs. I was told by NVCC and OHS that this program was 'really more for seniors'..... that's not what I took away from the meetings, but, it's hard to argue at every turn.

Sounds promising, but my son is in another program until July 20. Since he is going to miss part of…Read More it, he can't apply for another year. Most families already had plans prior to the late information. May have had better participation if it was presented at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year. Maybe they can try this fall to prepare for next summer, or let students enter throughout the program, not just July 1.

That's an interesting point of view, Brad. I'm sure my readers are intelligent enough to know there…Read More are more than three dean's list students in Manassas and Manassas Park.
Have a good day.

Oh good! So it's this summer? Great. I'm still waiting to hear back from my source with the city…Read More regarding the completion date. VDOT told me 2015, but the guy said that date may have changed and that I would have to ask the city.

Hey Kris! Calvin O'Dell is the city employee I usually correspond with regarding this project. I…Read More believe he works closely with VDOT officials concerning Safe Routes to Schools. Very nice fellow and super helpful. I'll reach out to him again later today for a completion date.

Hi Beverly. I was only able to stay for about the first 15 minute of rehearsal.t

Not a single story I've read about the naked guy in Woodbridge had him driving. What makes him a…Read More naked "driver"?

Woodbridge High School is one of the only schools to have graduation on it's grounds - the stadium…Read More outside. But it rains, it's indoors. I don't know other high schools don't have graduation on its grounds

Osbourn Park graduated up until last year on the football field.

What about Osborne High school, June 10 at jiffy lube live at 7. Same day as Patomac... who knew…Read More Monday June 10 would be a prime day for a graduation.

I doubt even a semi could knock down 3 utility poles driving at 25 mph. But then, very few drivers,…Read More cars or large trucks, drive the speed limit on Manassas Dr. Three schools on that road and neither MP police, County, nor Manassas police bother with enforcing it and therefore keeping the kids safe.

98% of the people would rather drive from Digital Drive to VRE than walk, so additional trails…Read More aren't needed. I see it everyday. A parking garage would be preferred where the existing lot is, but even a bridge over the traks to a parking garage might be acceptable. But VRE has already stated they won't pay for it, its MP's to fund. If some type of streetscape were being developed on Euclid, a sidewalk makes sense, although I understood it to be approved a while ago anyway. Otherwise there are no businesses there worth walking to. Another access should have been built from Euclid to 28 a long time ago, but I'm afraid it would just become a cut through for non-MP residents like Manassas Drive is now. Sorry for not belonging to the optimists club, but I've been let down too often.

The amount of traffic in the Manassas Park area has become increasingly worse. With the timing of…Read More traffic lights and 4 way stops it takes forever to go just to drive down Manassas Drive. The fact that they are adding more Townhouses at the corner of Manassas Dr. and Signal Hill/Andrew Dr. will only make the commute that much worse. They need to add more roads somewhere since we are the cut thru for alot of commuters now.

That's ok. There's room for realists too in an Optimist Club. :-)
