After you have eaten several Thanksgiving dinners, sandwiches, and turkey salad what else can you do with the turkey? Here are some suggestions!

Our class was interrupted sometime after 12:30 by an announcement that the President had been shot and a call to stop all activities and […]

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Native Americans shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, during the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each year. The first Thanksgiving meal in Plymouth […]
Starting with Thanksgiving it will be a very busy few days. Last year many retailers did not open on Thanksgiving and this year many have not released their schedule for Thanksgiving yet. Check carefully so you don’t need to make last-minute store visits.

Dance first came to town in 1998 with Fran Ichijo’s Hope Garden Ballet Academy providing learning opportunities for untold numbers of dancers. After Fran retired, the studio reopened in 2022 as Essence Studios with former student and Poolesville native Claire Jones at the helm.
Claire has continued Fran’s tradition of providing the highest […]
