In the version of this newsletter we sent to you this morning, we made a mistake in the back-to-school dates and calendars — they have been corrected below. Please accept our apologies. We wish you all the best in your family's return to school!
Friends, As the summer comes to a close and the school year begins in earnest, I hope you and your families are cherishing this quality time together. In this week’s newsletter, I’ll highlight a few events I have attended recently, and then share information about the start of the school year, unemployment insurance, and ARPA priorities for the Special Session.
Recent Events in District 10
Photo Credit: Metro Richmond Area Young Democrats On Sunday, July 25, I was able to stop by the Arlington Democrats Fourth Annual Interfaith Eid Al-Adha Celebration. I appreciate the Arlington Dems for hosting such a wonderful event.
On Tuesday, July 27, I toured Richmond’s first medical marijuana dispensary, Green Leaf Medical of Virginia (gLeaf). Green Leaf’s 82,000-square-foot production facility hosts the full cycle of medical cannabis production, from plant cultivation to harvesting to product development and packaging. The tour was very beneficial, providing a strong overview of the science behind medical cannabis, the quality assurances built into every stage of the process, and the dispensary procedures that are under the care of pharmacists.
Back to School Below are details not only about academic calendars, but about how the school districts in Senate District 10 plan to reopen.
