The store will also offer students free ice cream cones from 3-5 p.m.
Community members can come to support specific schools on the days shown below.
- Wednesday (Sept. 4) — Camelot Elementary School
- Thursday (Sept. 5) — Stenwood Elementary School
- Friday (Sept. 6) — Fairhill Elementary School
- Tuesday (Sept. 10) — Pine Spring Elementary School
- Wednesday (Sept. 11) — Woodburn Elementary School

“As owners of the restaurant and members of the community, we wish to honor the schools in our market area to celebrate,” a press release said, adding that the owner wants to use this event as an opportunity to celebrate the location’s recently remodeled building.

Chris Green is one of the DMV’s finest fitness instructors. A Lululemon and South Block ambassador, he is a coach and mentor to so many. He embodies grace, positivity and motivation in ways that no one else can. If we could all learn a thing or two from him, the world would be a much better place. He does so much for others, and does so with a smile on his face 99% of the time.
He recently ruptured his Achilles and has an incredibly long and tough journey ahead. As if COVID hadn’t impacted fitness professionals enough, throw this in the mix and it’s a double, even triple whammy. CG is no longer able to work and do what he loves for the time being because of this and we’d love your support.
