MCPS is introducing a messaging platform, Remind, that will be used to communicate among MCPS schools, teachers, students and parents. School staff, central office staff, students and parents will all have Remind accounts to enable them to send and/or receive messages using a preferred mode of communication, such as text message, email or phone call and in their preferred language.
When and How Will My School Use it? By winter break, schools will be transitioning to and regularly using the Remind app. When your school makes this transition, parents and older students will receive a text message or email notification from the teacher(s).

The Washington Post recently released a searchable list of the best pizza by state, divided into eight different categories. They analyzed 7.5 million Yelp reviews and developed a formula to identify the “best.” Ema Rossi, a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant that serves wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza, pastas, salads, and small plates, was ranked as the best “Neapolitan-ish” style pizza in the state of Maryland.
According to WaPo, “While “Neapolitan” is strictly defined, Neapolitan-ish includes puffy-crusted wood-fired pizzas with all sorts of fancy toppings.” Ema Rossi has been doing it since they opened in the old Pizza Hut location in the Rock Creek Village Center (5556 Norbeck Rd) back in July 2020– a very difficult time for a restaurant to get started with many Covid restrictions in place.

Smedberg, and Metro General Manager and Chief Executive Officer Randy Clarke.
MoCoShow Football Saturday Game of the Week: Quince Orchard @ South County (VA); Includes Prediction
“In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, it’s bigger than Christmas day.” -Sheryl Yoast, Remember the Titans
This ain’t a rodeo we’re used to seeing. On occasion, MD and VA teams have played each other, but not often is it a clash of two state title contenders. The last time a MOCO team played a NOVA team was Churchill against Broad Run in 2019. Broad Run won 47-7. Well, if you can beat the traffic and make it down to Lorton this weekend, you’ll be in for a treat. Maryland and Virginia have sent their best as the Quince Orchard Cougars test their might against the South County Stallions.
