What a fantastic day of learning and exploration!

On Tuesday, June 9, staff from the Town of Purcellville joined students at Mountain View Elementary School’s annual Career Day. Team members from Maintenance, Water, and Parks and Recreation shared what they do to help keep our community running and engaged students with fun, hands-on activities.

Students got an up-close look at maintenance equipment, tested their taste buds in a blind water challenge to see if they could tell the difference between Town water and bottled water, and enjoyed Parks and Recreation activities that included a playing nature trivia game and decorating and filling seed packets to take home.

It was a wonderful opportunity to introduce students to careers in local government and inspire curiosity about the many ways people serve their community.

Thank you to Mountain View Elementary for the invitation, and thank you to our staff for sharing your time, knowledge, and enthusiasm with the next generation!

In addition, the Town Council is currently considering adoption of a multi-year utility rate plan designed to establish a fiscally responsible framework for future infrastructure improvements and long-term financial sustainability. Adoption of the plan is anticipated at the June 9, 2026, Town Council Meeting. which will lay the groundwork for a fiscally responsible plan for the Town’s future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Purcellville on Monday, May 25, for our annual Memorial Day Ceremony as we gathered to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

A special thank you to Krissy Caracciolo, a Gold Star family member, for sharing memories of her brother, U.S. Army Specialist Douglas J. Green. Specialist Green lost his life on August 28, 2011, at just 23 years old while serving his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. For his heroism and service, he was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor, the Purple Heart, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge. His sacrifice, and the sacrifice of all our fallen heroes, will never be forgotten.

We are also deeply grateful to American Legion Post 293, Pastor Cory Welch, ADAMS Interfaith Scout Troop and Youth, Brad and Betsy Quin, Rick Reaves, and Purcellville Florist for helping make this year’s ceremony so meaningful and memorable for our community.

May we continue to honor and remember those who gave everything for our freedom.
