Ashburn Colored School

The Ashburn Colored School is a former one-room schoolhouse for black students located at 20593 Ashburn Road in Ashburn, Virginia. Constructed in the late 19th century, it was in use until 1958. In the 21st century it has been restored after being dilapidated and vandalized. History The frame building was constructed in either 1887 (for $400) or 1892 (for $500) as a one-room school for black ("colored") children under segregation. It was initially called Colored School #A or Cedar Lane Colored School; in 1892 it was sold to the Broad Run School District and from then to 1896 was called Farmwell Colored School. Up to 50 students in Grades 1 to 7 were taught there until 1958; in 1959 the property was sold at auction. Loudoun School For The Gifted purchased the building as part of the site for a new school in 2014, and a group of students began restoring it in 2016. After a vandalism incident in 2016, $100,000 was raised through donations and the renovation was completed and the building opened as a museum, with a dedication ceremony held in September 2017 attended by at least one former student and the brother of the last teacher. Seventh-grade students at Farmwell Station Middle School successfully obtained grants and applied to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources for a historical marker at the school. Vandalism incident In September 2016, after the Loudoun School students had raised funds for over a year and had begun renovations by replacing the windows, the building was defaced with graffiti including swastikas, penises and breasts, dinosaurs, and slogans including "white power" and "brown power" slogans by five 16- and 17-year-olds, two of them white and the other three minorities. In February 2017 they were ordered by a judge to read one book a month for the next year from a list of 35 books on experiences of discrimination and write a report on each, to listen to an oral history account by a former student at the Ashburn School, to visit the Holocaust Museum and the exhibit on Japanese American internment camps at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., and write a final 3,500-word essay about the effects of swastikas and white power slogans on African Americans and on the community as a whole, including references to Nazism, lynching, and legal discrimination. Alejandra Rueda, a prosecutor and deputy commonwealth attorney, proposed and worked out the alternative remedy in the belief that education would be more effective than community service, recalling her own upbringing in Guadalajara, Mexico, when she learned about discrimination by reading, beginning with books chosen by her librarian mother. A teacher objected to the use of reading as punishment, and some, particularly members of the black community, saw the disposition as lenient, but Rueda argued that it was more demanding than what juveniles with no prior criminal record would normally receive. The county has since reformed its juvenile justice system and a younger boy has received a reading sentence modeled on the Ashburn School disposition.

King's Fork High School

King's Fork High School is located in Suffolk, Virginia. It is administered by Suffolk City Public Schools. The school colors are maroon and Vegas gold, and the official mascot is the Bulldog. King's Fork was founded in 2003, and was designed by the architectural firm of Ripley Rodriguez Maddox Motley. It was commissioned by Suffolk City Public Schools due to a widespread economic expansion in sprawl in the western Hampton Roads area. Due to rezoning, students at King's Fork High are drawn from the Northwestern quadrants of the city, including the King's Fork area, Crittenden, and Hobson. Students are also drawn from the southern Nansemond Parkway/Wilroy Road area, and shares Downtown neighborhoods with Lakeland High School. Curriculum King's Fork High School offers an extensive range of courses at core, honors, and Advanced Placement levels, in addition to various dual enrollment classes offered through the Hobbs campus of Paul D. Camp Community College, also located in Suffolk, and through Tidewater Community College. In addition to academic courses, King's Fork High offers a range of agricultural and resource management courses. Due to the nature of student interests at the school, only certain core subjects are offered at the AP level at King's Fork, and the arts department often has too few students for courses in music theory or other such classes. However, beginning in the 2008–2009 school year, King's Fork began offering courses beginning at the freshman level through the IB (International Baccalaureate) program, in addition to its current curriculum. Sports In 2023, the Bulldogs’ women’s basketball team won its first Class 4 state championship, defeating Millbrook High School 71–67. In 2009, the King’s Fork men’s basketball team won its first state championship, defeating William Fleming High School 49–47. The Bulldogs’ men’s basketball team later won another state championship in 2020.

The largest lacrosse crowd was first seen on April 12, 2008, when a game against Duke University attracted the stadium capacity, 8,000 spectators. When Duke University returned to Klöckner Stadium on April 17, 2010, the stadium capacity of 8,000 was reached again. As at Scott Stadium (the prior home of Virginia's soccer and lacrosse teams), some spectators sit or stand in the grassy areas behind each goal, as well as in the bleachers. During the 2006 soccer season, a video board was installed at Klöckner Stadium. It debuted on September 27, 2006, during a men's soccer game between Virginia and American University. The video board was upgraded prior to the 2019 season. References External links Official website

Lake Anne

Lake Anne is a reservoir in the unincorporated suburban community of Reston in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. The lake is part of the Difficult Run drainage area of the county. Description Lake Anne is one of Reston's four man-made lakes. Prior to its development, the land was home to open fields and forests. It was built in 1962 and named after Anne W. Simon, the spouse of Robert E. Simon, Reston's founder. The contents of the lake come mainly from rainfall and surface runoff, as well as underground springs. Lake Anne is also the name of the historic village center that surrounds the lake. Lake Anne and its adjacent neighborhood form the nucleus of the original Reston development. James Rossant and William Conklin designed Lake Anne Village in the Brutalist architectural style. It was officially dedicated on December 4, 1965. Reston founder Robert E. Simon spent the last third of his life in Heron House (designed by Rossant and named after the great blue heron found in the area) on Lake Anne. The village center was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. See also James Rossant Robert E. Simon References
Lake Braddock

Lake Braddock is a reservoir in the community of Burke in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. Lake Braddock is created by an impoundment on a tributary stream of Pohick Creek, itself a tributary of the Potomac River. In 1969, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the Northern Virginia Soil District signed contracts which allowed the construction of the dam impounding the tributary of the Pohick creek in Burke. The $138,500 cost of the dam, intended as the first of eight to control soil erosion and flooding in the Pohick watershed, was split between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Yeonas Development Corporation, the latter of which intended to build a 1000-unit development on the surrounding 400 acres (160 ha). The ultimate cost of the dam creating the 19 acres (7.7 ha) lake was $93,000 to the U.S. Government and $104,000 to Yeonas. The fact that the lake included no public recreation facilities despite being financed with public money was the subject of controversy, and led to the amendment of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act in 1972 to require public access to all such facilities constructed in the future.
