GAINESVILLE, Va. — A new Goddard School location will open in Gainesville.
Submitted:
In order to commemorate the grand opening of The Goddard School in Gainesville, owners Lisa and Greg O’Brien have scheduled a ribbon cutting ceremony and Fall Festival for November 12, 2016. The fun-filled family event starts at 9:45 a.m., with the official ribbon cutting happening at 10 a.m., and will be at The Goddard School, 7801 Heritage Village Plaza in Gainesville. Supervisor Pete Candland and Prince William Chamber of Commerce representatives will be on hand to assist with the ribbon cutting.
After the cutting of the ribbon, there will be a social time with light refreshments, and the following activities: horse-drawn wagon hayrides, raffles, petting zoo, pony rides, musical entertainment, balloon twisting, face painting and a lot of STEAM-related activities for children.
Greg and Lisa O’Brien strongly believe that community participation in ways more than just as the service it provides is vital to the community. The O’Briens believe that marketing collaboration amongst the local businesses and partnering with the local non-profits are two very important ways to boost the strength of the community. In those respects, the O’Briens have chosen to implement their convictions from the get-go of their new business.
At the event, The Goddard School will hold fundraising activities, with all proceeds to benefit non-profit CASA- Children’s Intervention Services of Manassas, which helps children who are abused, neglected or abandoned. CASA will be present, participating in the event with a table. As well, at the event, The Goddard School will host musical entertainment put on by Bach To Rock of Bristow, which is a music school for children of all ages.

DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.
