Weems School Receives Donation From Local Shopping Center

Weems Elementary School is set to receive a $1,000 donation from Bull Run Plaza of Manassas. 

The good news was made possible after the local shopping plaza featured a contest during the 2010 holiday season, when shoppers were encouraged  to submit the name of a local school they believed deserving of the monetary donation. 

Weems parent Crystal Turner participated in announcing the big news to the winning school and its members.

 Bull Run Shopping Center is managed by Rappaport Companies and marketing representative for the company,  Zaria West visited the school to present the generous donation to principal Angela Burnett. 

"Our school has several ongoing projects that the funds can be used to support," said Burnett.  "We know our students will benefit from the generosity of Bull Run."
