Hi there. Arlington county parent here (don’t believe you are
@GlennYoungkin
but correct me if I am wrong). Thank you to
@APSVirginia
for standing up for our kids, teachers and administrators and their safety in the midst of a transmissible variant.

Hi
@GovernorVA
Waving hand I’m a parent from Arl Co, I support
@APSVirginia

@APSVaSchoolBd
