As it turns out, Wednesday was the last day this week kids would return to Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) as both students and teachers get their snow day.
At 5 p.m. today (Thursday), ACPS announced that school would be fully closed on Friday. All activities in school or on school grounds are canceled, and ACPS officials told ALXnow that there won’t be virtual school tomorrow either.
The closure comes ahead of anticipated snow tonight.
Students had today off as well for a work-day with faculty and staff, but most staff will have tomorrow off.
“All essential personnel, including building engineers, custodians, maintenance shop employees and security staff must still report if safe to do so,” ACPS said on its website.
All ACPS schools and offices will be closed, 1/07/22. All activities in schools or on school grounds are canceled. Visit the ACPS website at https://t.co/SmBx3a2R2z for the most up-to-date information. pic.twitter.com/BUGbekhCnw

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
