We just had to share something that we happened to come across. Last week, we had a meeting at Butterfly Ridge Elementary School to discuss how the Golden Mile Alliance can support them for the 2025 5th Grade Class graduation celebration. While we were there, we got to catch the tail end of an initiative they are doing with students. They brought in a professional rapper to assist the kids in creating a personal rap. What makes this even more unique is that the purpose of the wrap is to celebrate the student’s individual strengths and focus on that with the ultimate goal of building a strong sense of being and self-esteem. The work that our schools do to create and shape our leaders of tomorrow is heartwarming and inspiring. As many of our schools are on Spring Break this week, please take a moment to celebrate our educators and support staff for how they support our students! #goldenmile #goldenmilefrederick #goldenmilefrederickmd #goldenmilealliance #goldenmilealliancefrederickmd #frederickmaryland #frederickmd #frederickcountypublicschools #butterflyridgeelementary #SupportOurStudents #supportoureducatorsandstaff

Yesterday evening the City of Frederick City Council approved 5 legislative district boundaries that will be represented on the City Council. The City hired a consulting firm to design two district maps that were based on population size and demographics. Once the maps were submitted, there was a public input was solicited with the unique ability to create their own maps that met population and demographic criteria. The Golden Mile district will have two representatives on the City Council from Districts 1 & 2. The City Council will be comprised of 7 members – one from each district and two at large seats. This is a truly exciting development as there will now be at least two direct representatives of the Golden Mile on the City Council. We thank the City, staff and public for their input in making this happen! #goldenmile #goldenmilefrederick #goldenmilefrederickmd#frederickmd#frederickmaryland#goldenmilealliance#goldenmilealliancefrederickmd
