[StayAt HomeMother]

Here is a small example of what has been pent up and how the military have been helping us all out. The use of military bases for athletic events has been one of these security measures that pretty much stayed out of the press. The following is quoted from the Fairfax County Public Schools web site: http://fcps.edu/news/emerg.htm

Based on information from the Montgomery County crime task force and the Fairfax County Police Department, Fairfax County Public Schools will resume a normal schedule, including outdoor activities, beginning tomorrow, Friday, October 25.

FCPS scheduled athletic events will remain at military venues for Saturday, October 26, and Sunday, October 27, due to logistical issues (e.g., scheduling officials, providing transportation, moving equipment, etc.). We regret the inconvenience to athletes' parents who are unable to attend their children's events due to the strict security policies at the various military sites. All athletic events are scheduled to return to FCPS sites beginning Monday, October 28.

Schedule of Events

1. Cross country district meets will be conducted at Fort Belvoir (South Post golf course). The Patriot and National District meets were held today, and the Concord and Liberty District meets are scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, October 25.

2. Field hockey makeup games scheduled for the Quantico Marine Corps Base will remain at that site. Twenty games will be played on Saturday, October 26, and 20 additional games will be played on Sunday, October 27.

3. A football makeup game involving Stuart High School will be played Saturday, October 26, either at Fort Belvoir or at Stuart High School.

4. Varsity football games will resume Friday, November 1. The remainder of game dates will be released to the press in the near future.

YEA, God love your heart, that is wonderful. I didn't bother you for information, as I didn't have need of it, but appreciate your kindness in offering it to posters. Thanks.
