The 106-year-old who’s earned rock star status in a viral video of her dancing with the President and First Lady thinks volunteering has helped keep her young.

“She’s the jewel in our crown,” says Cheryl Christmas, of the UPO Foster Grandparent Program, about centenarian Virginia McLaurin. “Grandma has been working at this program, Foster Grandparents, for 22 years.”

“And I love it,” McLaurin quickly chimed in. “I love kids!”

Potomac Landing Elementary School and Fort Washington Forest Elementary School have joined forces to stop the pending BOE vote on 2/25/16 that could change the current school boundaries. We are urging residence in Fort Washington to show up (sign up to testify) to the next Board of Education Meeting on FEBRUARY 23rd at 7 pm (14201 School Lane, Rm 121, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772). This has an impact on the community, because schools are among the top priority for people when deciding where they want to live or if they want to sell!
