Alexandria Residents Prepare for Busy Week: Back-to-School Deadline, Art Festival, City Council Meeting
Alexandria residents gear up for a busy week ahead. Parents of Alexandria City Public Schools students rush to submit back-to-school forms by today. Meanwhile, the City Council prepares for its legislative meeting tonight, and a community festival, Art on the Avenue, is set for October 4. However, a federal government shutdown looms, with Congress struggling to reach a compromise.
Art on the Avenue promises a full day of family-friendly activities on October 4, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., along Mount Vernon Avenue in Del Ray. The event, which is free and accessible, will feature 350 artists, live music, food vendors, and a pie-baking contest. Complimentary trolley service from Braddock Road and Potomac Yard Metro stations, and free bike valet parking, will be available.
In other news, the Alexandria City Public Schools Board has rejected a proposal to use DASH buses to transport high school students. The Board does not support the plan. The decision comes as the City Council prepares to hold its legislative meeting tonight at 5:30 p.m.
Parents are reminded to turn in back-to-school forms for their children today. Upcoming events in Alexandria include a coffee ceremony and networking lunch, storytime, and a playtime event for children.
Tragically, three suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of 21-year-old Jaylin Hartless in the Woodlawn area of Fairfax County.
With Art on the Avenue approaching and back-to-school forms due today, Alexandria residents have much to attend to. Meanwhile, the City Council's legislative meeting tonight will address local issues, and the impending federal government shutdown adds a layer of uncertainty. The community continues to mourn the loss of Jaylin Hartless, with three suspects now in custody.
