From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

LAST DAY TO GET YOUR CHILD IMMUNIZED FOR SCHOOL!

Attention!

The deadline for students in Prince George's County to receive the required school vaccinations is Friday, October 31st. Students who do not receive the necessary vaccinations will not be allowed to attend school. Nurses are administering vaccines to students at 15 middle schools in Prince George’s County this week as the county makes a final push for students to get their required vaccinations before Friday’s deadline.

Permission slips are available on the school districts Web site atwww.pgcps.org or at the individual schools. The vaccines will be administered during the day.

The Prince George's County School System is concentrating its efforts on the middle schools because the majority of the students who have not received the vaccines are in the seventh grade.

The schools providing the vaccines are:

Benjamin Tasker MS
Charles Carroll MS
Drew Freeman MS
Dwight D. Eisenhower MS
Ernest Everett Just MS
G. James Gholson MS
Greenbelt MS
Hyattsville MS
Isaac Gourdine MS
James Madison MS
Kenmoor MS
Oxon Hill MS
Thomas Johnson MS
Thurgood Marshall MS
William Wirt MS

Please, remember to have your child vaccinated before the Oct. 31st deadline.

Sincerely,

Mayor Malinda Miles

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
