Welcome
For PTO volunteer opportunities, we need support all year long!
Great news: we have won the fight against McDonald's!
On October 15 McDonald's withdrew their application to bring a drive-through restaurant to Ager Road! The concerns that we have expressed by calling, writing, signing, spreading the word, and speaking out have been well received by the County Council. Pressure from the community has paid off!
There are two bills heading for County County that we can support. CB 69-2025 would restrict fast food drive-throughs, and CB 43-2025 would require new businesses to conform to local standards and policies, rather than allowing the Planning Board to treat them as merely advisory. This was the main issue making our fight against McDonald's such a long, uphill one.
A detailed update about the McDonald's fight is in English and Spanish.

Let's continue to be fired up and take civic action for our kids' health and wellbeing!
