Extraordinary Teens in Extraordinary Times

It’s hard to believe another June has rolled around, and here at Prince William Living that means we were once again presented with an impressive pile of entries for our Extraordinary Teens contest. The number of impressive teens studying, working, growing, and giving within our community never ceases to impress us. Check out our 10 finalists in this month’s feature, and keep an eye out for the many extraordinary things yet to come for these young men and women. On a High Note shares more impressive accomplishments from area youth involved in our many choral programs. These singers excel in more than just hitting the right notes! And while we’re talking about students, have you thought about funding college for your favorite student yet? Don’t miss this month’s Your Finances where we’ve got five great facts everyone should know about 529 plans. As the weather warms up, we’re sharing the best spots to beat the heat in our area — the pools. Check out Destinations for details on what each location offers. And Lifelong Learning continues the water fun with classes at area pools. You’ll stay cool and fit all summer long while learning something new. Warmer months are also a favorite time for sprucing up around the home and yard. How about planting new trees? Home and Hearth helps you choose the best types and spots, and takes you step by step through the process. June is also a great time for outdoor dining. Snag a patio seat at Cock and Bowl in Occoquan, and enjoy some authentic Belgian cuisine, as well as their extensive craft beer and wine list.

This month is Men’s Health Month. Health and Wellness shares screenings and up-to-date information about prostate cancer identification and treatments. And finally, have you been in search of that perfect piece of furniture for your entryway or the ideal cardigan to pair with a new dress? Try thrift shopping for a cause! Giving Back brings you the hot spots around town to get the best deals while also supporting area nonprofits. Enjoy the sunshine and beginning of summer, and be sure to get out and enjoy all our area has to offer.

All the best, Rebecca Barnes
