Lake Ridge, Va. — Headlining the websites of two elementary schools today are notices of a bear sighting in Lake Ridge.

A bear was sighted near Antietam Elementary School on Antietam Road on Friday morning. School officials say the mother bear and her cub were spotted near the school but were never on school property.

A message on the site for Lake Ridge Elementary School tells parents a headline on insidenova.com incorrectly states the bears were seen near that school.

According to state wildlife officials who have put together a website with tips on how to live with Black Bears in Virginia, bears are attracted to residential areas by bird feeders, garbage, pet food compost piles.
