It is kind of a strange thing for me as the Lead Preschool Teacher here at the Community Center to think about, but now that school is out for summer, I want to share the best way to get yourself and your preschooler ready for summer. Yes, that sentence sure was a mouthful, but I […]
Last fall, I joined the Suicide Prevention Alliance of Northern Virginia (SPAN) LGBT committee as a representative for the City of Manassas Park, Department of Parks and Recreation. I was invited by the Chair of the committee, who happens to work for the Arlington Child and Family Services Division, because of my involvement in the […]
“Five Hundred, Twenty-five Thousand, six hundred Minutes. Five hundred, twenty-five Thousand, moments so dear. Five Hundred, Twenty-five Thousand, six hundred Minutes. How do you measure, Measure a year? In daylights? In sunsets? In midnights? In cups of coffee? In inches? In miles? In laughter? In strife? In, five hundred, twenty-five Thousand, six hundred minutes. How […]
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be in one of those old fashioned Christmas movies where the people actually sing Christmas carols and share good tidings? If you were at the Light Parade and Tree Lighting event in Manassas Park on Saturday, December 10th, you may have felt like you truly […]
I have been working at the Community Center for quite a while, and know that we are all under a great deal of stress planning for a perfect holiday. I would like to share something I have realized in my personal life, and I’d like to offer you and your family some helpful suggestions or […]

There’s just something about the holiday season that puts you in a fantastic mood. The holidays are filled with so many activities for you […]
Like everyone else here at the Community Center, I am excited about Thanksgiving. I remember when I was a kid (which sadly for me is a long time ago), the most important day of the year was Thanksgiving. I have always loved Thanksgiving day because of the food—especially the turkey. Celebrating Thanksgiving by eating turkey […]
Ask any child why they love Halloween, and they will almost always say, “Two words: free candy”. If you were at the Community Center on October 31st from 5:30pm-7:30pm for Trunk or Treat, you saw many happy children running around, because they had indeed received lots of free candy. You may also have noticed many […]
When most people think cold weather and the holidays, they think hot chocolate, their rising heating bill, and staying indoors. But here at Parks and Recreation, it’s anything but downtime. *sings* “It’s the most wonderful time….” It’s the most busy time of the year. The programs that run during the holiday season are almost endless. […]
The smell of the freshly mowed lawn lingered and the brilliant, blue sky provided the perfect backdrop to the colorful vendor tents for the Fall Arts and Crafts Festival on October 15th from 10am-3pm at the lower parking lot near the Stone House at Costello Park. Upon entering the area, folks were greeted by Monica […]
