School Board Members Explain the Vibe at the VSBA Conference
Westmoreland County Public Schools Vice Chairwoman Iris Lane provided detail of what happened when the Virginia School Board Association met in Williamsburg. “Every year, the VSBA has an exhibition of school architecture,” she explained, “The architectural firms submit their projects, and the purpose of this competition is to raise awareness among school board members about the relationship between good design and effective teaching and learning.”
Town Council Honors CBVFD
Volunteer emergency response units form the backbone of any sort of emergency service in rural areas, and the Northern Neck is no exception. Last month, Montross made sure that the volunteers of the Westmoreland County Volunteer Fire Department, who were celebrating their 75th birthday, knew exactly how the town felt about them by making them the guests of honor at the Montross Fall Festival. Last week, the Town Council of Colonial Beach got in on the act, taking some time during their regular meeting to deliver a giant thank you to the folks at the CBVFD, both for their service to the community and for how they represented the town at the 66th Urbanna Oyster Festival Fireman’s Parade.
