Kenneth W. Culbert Elementary in Hamilton

As I’m sure you noticed, the buses are running in LoCo this morning, as the kids (finally) head back to school.  I’m admitting to a little melancholy today, as I send my youngest of four off to kindergarten, my middle child to first grade, and my twins to their first year of middle school.  It will be a different year for me this year! I’m holding up a coffee mug to ::cheers:: in the new school year…

The picture above is of Kenneth W. Culbert Elementary, which opens it’s doors for the first day today, as a brand spanking new school in Hamilton, Virginia.  I’d also like to send a shoutout and big congratulations to a friend of mine, Janice Koslowski, who takes over as principal at Potomac Falls High School in Sterling for this school year.  She is moving there after four successful years at the helm of Eagle Ridge Middle School in Ashburn.  She used to be the vice principal at Potomac Falls, so this isn’t new territory for her.  I’m sure that she is going to have a fantastic year, and I know that she will be welcomed there with open arms.

Cheers,

Heather

Company 2's New Digs

A short wrapup of news and notes around LoCo lately:

On the agenda for the Board of Supervisors public hearing on Monday, June 8th is a “Special Exception to permit a 75,000 square foot recreational facility for use by a professional minor league baseball team (Atlantic League)” as part of the proposed Kincora development at the intersection of Routes 28 and 7.  The Leesburg Today wrote about the issue here.  (The descriptive quote is straight from the Board’s agenda for the meeting.)

The cover story for the Loudoun Times Mirror this week called a shift in the real estate market to a seller’s market, based on shorter days on market and an upswing in the number of sold homes. You can read their take on the situation here.

The Purcellville Volunteer Fire Department Company 2 moved into their new digs at the corner of Maple and Hirst (pictured above) after lowering the flag at their old location on Maple for the last time, and caravaning up to the new spot.

The Friends of Hamilton Park are holding a community fundraiser on Thursday, June 25th: have dinner at the Purcellville McDonald’s between 5 and 8 pm that evening, and 20% of all proceeds will benefit the park.

Cheers,
