We will be getting together with our friends from the General Smallwood Chapter to attend the Blue Crabs Baseball Game on Sunday afternoon, 24 June at the Regency Furniture Stadium. We did this last year and a great time was had by all. The stadium is located just off of Billingsley Road between Route 5 and Route 301 south of Waldorf. (From St. Mary's and Calvert Counties, go north on Route 5 toward Waldorf. Turn left on Billingsley Road. Take Billingsley Road for approximately three miles. Turn left on Piney Church Road. Go approximately 0.5 miles and the stadium will be on the right.) The stadium is handicapped accessible through the main gate. The National Anthem will be at 1400 and the game will begin promptly at 1405 (2:05pm). We have managed to negotiate a lower price than was originally reported. The cost will be $23 per person, and kids five and under are free. The cost includes the admission, seats in an area reserved for us and an all-you-can-eat buffet catered by the Texas Roadhouse (hot dogs, BBQ chicken, pulled pork, French fries, baked beans, and unlimited soft drinks). The buffet starts when the gates open at 1:30, and the buffet will run for two hours. We encourage everyone to come at 1:30 to enjoy the buffet.

2014 SMCPS Executive Summary Only
Section A: Executive Summary and State Success Factors Universal for Design of Learning (UDL) INTRODUCTION Over the last three years, St. Mary’s County Public Schools (SMCPS) has fully embraced the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards/Common Core State Standards and with the implementation of these rigorous education standards, we established a set of shared goals and expectations for what students should understand and be able to do in grades K-12 in order to be prepared for success in college and the workplace. The Common Core compelled us to re- sequence learning in Mathematics and Reading Language Arts, leaving some skills behind and moving others to different grade levels. Throughout the year, our students were asked to demonstrate independence and perseverance, construct arguments, comprehend, critique, and support with evidence, and use resources, strategies, and tools to demonstrate strong content knowledge. We moved to deeper and richer lessons, replete with informational texts, analytical writing, and trans-disciplinary project based learning. All of which we fundamentally know will end with our graduates more prepared than ever to face the challenges of a 21st century post- secondary landscape. In implementing the these standards, we have aligned our current work at the secondary level with promoting college and career readiness, as more SMCPS graduates than ever took the SAT and are posting scores better than the state and national average. Our graduates also completed record numbers of Advanced Placement courses and achieved scores of 3 or better on the culminating AP Exams at rates also outpacing the Maryland and national average. Finally, SMCPS has achieved a record-high 91.5% of students graduating from high school in four years or less for the class of 2013.

History of Fairfax City
HISTORY OF FAIRFAX CITY The City of Fairfax began as the Town of Providence in 1805, a community built around the Fairfax County Courthouse. Completed in 1800 at the corner of Little River Turnpike and Ox Road, the area was a crossroads of conflict during the American Civil War with hardships and disrupted lives for everyone. From a crossroads of conflict, the area became a crossroads of commerce in the late nineteenth century when the dairy industry propelled economic rebirth and the building of schools, churches, homes, barns, and businesses and in 1874 the Town of Providence officially became the Town of Fairfax. The early 20th century ushered in a myriad of technological and transportation changes and the emergence of civic organizations, sports clubs, a Town police unit, and a volunteer fire company. World War II spurred rapid growth across the region in housing, business ventures, and population and Fairfax quickly changed from a rural to a suburban community. The Town of Fairfax deeded a 150-acre tract of land in 1959 to the University of Virginia to establish a permanent home for what is now George Mason University. In 1961, the Town of Fairfax was incorporated as the independent City of Fairfax and in 1962 a new City Hall was completed. Rich in history and heritage, residents and visitors enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an abundance of cultural and recreational pursuits in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area. As the City's first mayor, John C. Wood said in 1962 - "Fairfax has a wonderful past and present and an even greater future." HOW DID THE JULY 4TH CELEBRATION BEGIN IN FAIRFAX CITY? Fairfax City’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967 and was organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority.
