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.

THE PEACE PARADE IS COMING JUNE 17, 2016 at 8:30 am

For the past twenty-eight years, Mount Rainier Elementary has celebrated 100 days of peace at the end of each school year. This parade is not about saving the world or world peace. This peace parade is about helping students and teachers and those coming in contact with the school to develop peaceful attitudes and behaviors and to carry that attitude with them every day into the world in which they live.

This tradition was started by Mr. Philip Cantana, the former principal at Mount Rainier. The tradition has been continued by each succeeding principal.

The community looks forward to this event and supports this school activity. YOU can too. This year, Mount Rainier Elementary's Peace Day Parade is scheduled for June 17, 2016, at 8:30 am.

You may walk in the parade, stand on the sideline and just watch it or you can get as excited as I do and cheer all of those elementary school children on as they demonstrate their pride in being peaceful and celebrating a twenty-eight year tradition at their school!

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.
