Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is about to conduct a
Feasibility Study for a new middle school to be located at Rock Creek
Hills Local Park, 3701 Saul Road, Kensington, MD 20895, a former
school site.

The design is being conducted by a Facility Advisory Committee (FAC)
that is chaired by the Westland Middle School Principal; Mr. Daniel J.
Vogelman. The FAC will include representatives of the schools, PTA,
neighbors, government agencies, the design architects, Samaha
Architects, and staff from MCPS Division of Construction.

The purpose of these meetings is to develop a preliminary design for
the school project. It is an evolving process whereby input from the
previous meeting is incorporated into the ongoing proposed design.
These meetings are to determine spatial relationships within the
school’s interior, the pedestrian and traffic flow of the site and how
the school will fit into the community at large.

As shown below, the FAC meeting/work sessions are scheduled in the
afternoons and evenings to allow maximum community involvement.

Friends and Neighbors of Haverhill Littledale Triangle

By | Neighborhood Notices

Lend a hand, PLEASE, pruning the barbary bushes, weeding, putting down weed block, and spreading mulch. I know it sounds like a tall order, but many hands… I don’t need to tell you.

Since the triangle is in direct sun, I propose early morning or early evening sessions. I’m available early Saturday morning, or Monday, Tues, Wed evening next week. But don’t let that stop you. If you have time – any time – Have at it. The weed block and bags o’mulch are at the Littledale end of my driveway. If you would like a wheel barrow to haul the mulch, knock on our door — I just don’t want to leave it out for the taking. We also have recycle bins for the waste.

Alternatively, if you have a trusted garden person who you would like to commission to help out on your behalf — that’s great too.

Thanks and Happy Memorial Day!

Caution with rchcanet emails

By | RCHCANet

Hello,

Since we verify that new members of RCHCAnet are residents of Rock Creek Hills and/or homeowners in Rock Creek Hills, we seldom get much spam. However, every once in a while a member of RCHCAnet will have a problem that will cause malicious email to be sent on their behalf. Since we do not moderate messages, any malicious messages get forwarded to all members.

One method of protecting yourself is to verify all links before clicking on them. Most browsers and email programs will show you the true Uniform Resource Locator (URL, a.k.a. web address) when you hover the cursor over the link. My rule of thumb is to always verify the links, and if I don’t trust the link; don’t click on it. Unfortunately, sites that shorten URL’s hide the true URL. Again, my personal rule of thumb is to not click on shortened URL’s, even though they can be useful.

Note, the two emails that contain questionable links to sites with a RU (Russia) top level domain have been deleted from RCHCAnet.

Regards,
Mike Baker
