Today is Monday, July 19, and here are five things to know in Montgomery County.
1. MCPS Teacher Headed to the Olympics: John F. Kennedy High School teacher Thea LaFond is headed to the Tokyo Olympics to compete for the Caribbean nation of Dominica. LaFond holds the Maryland record in the women’s triple jump. This is her third Olympics!
