Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Eileen Leckey celebrates 45 years at Aquinas (catholicherald.com) — A beloved preschool teacher at St. Thomas Aquinas Regional School in Woodbridge is marking her 45th back-to-school season, having taught generations of local families. She reflects on her faith, classroom "teacher tricks," and the school community's support during her daughter's health crisis, and says she plans to keep teaching well past 50 years because she still loves the children.
• Prince William County unveils new 311 signage to curb panhandling, promote community resources (insidenova.com) — Prince William County is rolling out new 311-focused signs at intersections, including Old Bridge Road and Route 123 in Woodbridge, to steer panhandlers toward services and donors toward vetted nonprofits. The two‑month pilot will collect data on whether directing calls to 311 improves access to housing, food, employment, and behavioral health support while reducing roadside giving. Residents can also download signs and learn how to support partner charities online.
