Holiday Decoration Contest

Our annual holiday decoration contest is here, with prizes for the top three vote-getters! Break out your lights and trimmings, and let’s make this the most well-decorated holiday season Dunn Loring Woods has ever seen.

Take a walk around the community to spread some cheer and enjoy your neighbors’ holiday spirit. Then vote for your favorite, by home address, at dlwlantern@gmail.com. The voting deadline is Sunday, December 18. Watch for details on our winners in the next issue, and have a wonderful holiday season!

 

New Elementary School

[via Dunn Loring Improvement Association]

The old elementary school building at the corner of Gallows and Idylwood Roads, which has been used as a school administrative center for several years, is going to be replaced with a new school.

The plan is to tear down the current building and replace it with a 900 student elementary school. The new building will be built on the existing soccer field (currently used by Vienna Youth Soccer). The proposed new school will be three stories with two new school play fields located where the old building is now. The new Kiss & Ride entrance will be located on Idylwood, directly across from Greenbrier Way, and the bus entrance will be 50 feet further west (towards Cedar Lane). Parking spaces will be reduced from existing 200 to 121 spaces.

Clearly this will mean redistricting, which will be addressed when construction begins.

 

Be a Good Neighbor

When the weather is windy, please ensure that your trash and recycling are secure. It’s never fun to clean up someone else’s loose cardboard or yard waste from one’s own yard. Thanks!
