Growing Families. Building Community. Connecting Life.
A Messsage From The General Manager
Roots and Routes Where We Started and Where We’re Going
This fall, Brambleton celebrates 25 years as a community. For me, this milestone is both professional and personal as I approach my 20th year in my role as General Manager of this great community. I have watched Brambleton grow not only as General Manager, but also as a parent and resident. My children, now 26 and 24, grew up with this community. Like many families, Brambleton has been more than a collection of homes. It has been the backdrop for childhood, friendships, celebrations, challenges, and countless everyday moments that became lasting memories. Every community has roots. Brambleton’s were planted in a bold vision: to create a place where people could do more than simply live, but could belong. From the beginning, Brambleton looked toward the future. It was among the nation’s first largescale communities built with fiber-to-the-premises technology, connecting residents in ways that were innovative for the time. But over the past 25 years, the meaning of connection has grown far beyond technology. Today, Brambleton is connected through parks, trails, schools, pools, events, gathering spaces, and, most importantly, people.
I am proud of what the Brambleton Community Association does. Our team maintains amenities, organizes programs and events, preserves common areas, plans for the future, and works to protect the character and value of the community. These responsibilities matter greatly. But I have also learned something important: an association can maintain a community, but it cannot create community by itself. Residents create community by volunteering, coaching, mentoring, supporting schools, serving local organizations, participating in civic causes, and helping neighbors. They create it by welcoming a new family, returning a misplaced package, checking on someone who lives alone, sharing a meal, watching a pet, or stopping to talk during an evening walk. These actions may seem small, but they are the roots that hold a community together. As we look toward Brambleton’s next 25 years, those shared roots will lead us along many different routes. There is no single way to contribute. Not everyone will serve on a committee. Not everyone will attend every event. Not everyone will volunteer in the same way. Your route may involve supporting a local charity, helping at your child’s school, participating in a faith community, mentoring a young person, or simply learning the names of the people who live nearby. Every route matters. That belief inspired BCA’s Community Connections program, which is

designed to strengthen relationships among neighbors and encourage engagement at the neighborhood level. Its purpose is simple: meaningful community begins with meaningful connections. Brambleton’s future will not be shaped by everyone doing the same thing. It will be shaped by residents bringing different talents, experiences, interests, and passions together. That is how communities remain welcoming, adaptable, and strong. As we celebrate this anniversary, we should be proud of everything Brambleton has become. But anniversaries are not only about looking back. They are also invitations to imagine what comes next. The next chapter has not yet been written. It will be shaped by today’s residents and tomorrow’s generations. It will be shaped by the relationships we build, the kindness we show, the causes we support, and the opportunities we create for others to belong. Our roots remind us where we started. Our routes will determine where we go. And Brambleton’s story will continue to be written by all of us, one neighbor, one connection, one act of kindness, and one path at a time.

Join Us at the 2026 Brambleton Annual Meeting Ara Galang - Director of Administration
Each year, the Annual Meeting provides an opportunity to reflect on where Brambleton has been and where it’s headed next. Looking back through photos from previous meetings, it’s easy to see how much has changed over the years. The locations, faces, and topics all tell part of Brambleton’s story. From meetings held in school cafeterias during Brambleton’s early years to gatherings at the Corner Clubhouse and now The Barn at Brambleton, the Annual Meeting has evolved alongside the community itself, yet the purpose has remained the same…to learn, connect, and help shape the future of this community. This year’s Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 7:00 PM at The Barn at Brambleton and virtually through Zoom. While there is no Board election this year, residents will hear updates from BCA Staff and community partners, get insight into what’s coming in 2027, and have the opportunity to ask questions. Additional Annual Meeting information will be sent by email from GetQuorum, so residents are encouraged to whitelist notices@getquorum.com to help ensure updates are received straight to their inbox rather than their spam folder. Whether you’ve lived in Brambleton since the beginning or recently moved into the community, we hope you’ll join us. Don’t miss out!

A Message From Your BCA Board Treasurer playgrounds, facilities, and equipment. Strong reserve funding helps avoid special assessments and protects longterm property values. Steve Smith BCA Board Treasurer
Every year, one of the most important responsibilities of the Board of Directors is adopting Brambleton’s annual budget. While a budget may seem like a collection of numbers on a spreadsheet, it is much more than that. It is the community’s financial roadmap, guiding how we maintain our amenities, preserve our assets, invest in the future, and continue delivering the quality-of-life residents expect. For 2027, Brambleton Community Association’s budget will surpass $20 million, reflecting both the size of our community and our commitment to responsible financial stewardship. Brambleton uses an expense-based budgeting approach. Rather than starting with revenue and deciding what we can afford, we begin by identifying the services, maintenance, reserve contributions, and investments necessary to operate the Association effectively. We then determine the revenue needed to support those priorities. The budget consists of four primary components: Operations fund the day-to-day services residents rely on, including landscaping, pools, events, technology, utilities, administration, covenant enforcement, and community maintenance. Reserves set aside funds for the future repair and replacement of community assets such as roads, trails, 10
Capital Projects support major community improvements and enhancements that help keep Brambleton attractive, competitive, and responsive to future needs. Strategic Plan provides the long-term vision that guides budget decisions. While the budget focuses on the next fiscal year, the Strategic Plan looks years into the future by identifying community priorities, emerging needs, service expectations, infrastructure investments, technology initiatives, and organizational goals. The budget serves as the financial tool that helps turn those strategic priorities into action, ensuring resources are aligned with the Board’s long-term vision for Brambleton’s future.
ensure accountability and sound financial management. Because the operating budget funds everyday services, it is also the portion of the budget that directly impacts homeowner assessments. The Board is expected to consider adoption of the 2027 budget in mid-October. While inflation continues to affect labor, insurance, utilities, and contracted services, current projections indicate assessments will increase by an amount significantly lower than the current and projected rate of inflation. This is possible because staff has spent the past year aggressively managing costs and negotiating savings in key areas, including Verizon FiOS services, trash collection, pool management, and financial management. These efforts will produce savings that benefit the community not just in 2027, but for years to come.
Equally important is how the budget is developed. The process begins months before adoption and involves staff, advisory committees, residents, the Finance Committee, and ultimately the Board of Directors. The Finance Committee conducts a review of the proposed budget and provides recommendations to the Board before final approval. Transparency and resident participation remain central to the process.
One fact always stands out to me: many Brambleton homeowners pay less in HOA assessments each month than our neighbors elsewhere pay for a market-rate Verizon FiOS package alone. Yet those assessments help fund not just FiOS, but pools, parks, trails, community events, reserve contributions, landscaping, community maintenance, technology services, insurance, administration, and professional management.That is value.
The budget is not something that is adopted and forgotten. Association staff runs its operations as funded and outlined in the budget. Throughout the year, the Finance Committee and Board review monthly financial reports to monitor performance and ensure the Association remains on track with the goals and objectives established in the budget. This ongoing oversight helps
As Treasurer, I am proud of our disciplined approach to budgeting and grateful for the partnership between residents, volunteers, staff, the Finance Committee, and the Board. Together, we are not simply funding next year’s operations. We are investing in Brambleton’s future. Sincerely, Steve Smith

OPERATIONS & COMMUNIT Y STANDARDS
Behind Every Great Community is a Great Team Isaiah Marsh - Director of Operations and Capital Assets
As the seasons change in Brambleton, our Operations team is busy preparing the community for the cooler months while continuing the day-to-day work that keeps our neighborhoods clean, safe, and enjoyable. Much of this work happens behind the scenes, but it plays an important role in maintaining the quality of our community. Keeping Brambleton Clean: Pet Waste & Trash Collection One of the most consistent maintenance responsibilities is something residents may not think much about until it isn’t done: keeping our common areas clean. Our team services more than 160 trash receptacles throughout the community twice each week. This includes trash generated at parks, trails, pools, sports courts, and other common areas. In addition to regular trash collection, our team keeps an eye out for overflowing receptacles, litter, damaged cans, and other maintenance concerns. With thousands of residents using our amenities and more than 15 miles of trails throughout the community, keeping these areas clean is a significant ongoing effort. Giving Our Turf a Fresh Start Fall might be the most critical time of the year for turf maintenance. Areas of stressed or heavily used turf need attention before winter arrives so they can recover and be ready for the following growing season. Last season was the first year our crew utilized our new AeraVator machine as part of our turf renovation efforts. The AeraVator helps address compacted soil by loosening and aerating the soil while incorporating seed and amendments into the turf area. This equipment will allow our team to more effectively renovate areas that receive heavy foot traffic and restore turf that has become thin or damaged over the season. Keeping Our Trails Clear Our trail system is one of the community’s most used amenities but maintaining more than 15 miles of trails requires significant seasonal work. As vegetation continues to grow throughout the warmer months, (especially after our rainy summer) vegetation can encroach on and over the trail. During the fall, our team focuses on trail cutbacks, clearing vegetation from the edges and maintaining adequate clearance for pedestrians, runners, cyclists, and maintenance equipment.

OPERATIONS & COMMUNIT Y STANDARDS
This work isn’t simply about making the trails look neat. Maintaining clear sightlines and adequate clearance helps keep the trails accessible and enjoyable for everyone throughout the year. Along with the cutbacks, our crew also blows off all of the wooded areas of the trails once or twice a week to keep them free from leaves. These are just a few small tasks that our team is responsible for during the fall season. The next time you see a clean trail, an empty trash receptacle, freshly renovated turf, or a well-maintained common area, remember that there is a team working behind the scenes to make it happen.
See It, Share It Elana Herrman - Community Services Administrator
Brambleton includes more than 650 acres of common area, and our Operations Team works hard to keep those spaces clean, safe, and well maintained. However, with a small team serving such a large community, resident reports play an important role in helping us identify and address issues quickly. If you notice something that needs attention while using trails, playgrounds, pools, or other common areas, please let us know. What Can You Report? If an issue is located in a common area rather than on private property, we want to hear about it. Examples include: Broken playground equipment * Litter or graffiti * Bee or wasp nests * Dead trees or shrubs * Turf or trail damage Overhanging branches * Damaged sidewalks * Streetlights that are out or flickering Keep in mind that responsibility for common-area issues may fall to the Association, VDOT, Loudoun County, the Town Center management company, NOVEC, Dominion Energy, or the Developer. If an issue isn’t BCA’s responsibility, our Operations Team will help identify the correct party and assist when needed. How to Report an Issue For routine maintenance concerns, submit a Work Request through MaintainX by visiting the Brambleton Community Association website (www.brambletonhoa.com) and selecting Work Requests, or scan the QR code on the next page. You may also email the Operations Team at operations@brambleton.org. To help us respond efficiently, please include: • • • •
A photo, when possible The specific location (street address, intersection, trail name, or landmark) Pole number for streetlight issues Your email address for follow-up questions
Some concerns, such as hazardous trees, sidewalk hazards, or infrastructure maintained by another organization, should be emailed directly to Operations rather than submitted through MaintainX. What Doesn’t Go to Operations? Operations does not handle private-property or in-home maintenance, architectural applications, pool pass questions, or assessments and dues. If you’re unsure who to contact, refer to the How to Reach Us guide in the back of this magazine. See something, say something! Your reports help keep Brambleton looking its best and ensure issues don’t go unnoticed. Thank you for helping care for our community!

Nikki Jessup, CMCA, AMS - Community Standards Manager,
Every neighborhood has its own personality. Some are known for beautiful homes, others for their amenities or location. But the communities people remember most are the ones where neighbors look out for one another and make everyday choices that help those around them feel at home. The truth is, governing documents help establish the foundation for a great community, but it’s the people who bring that community to life. The Small Things Matter Often, it’s the smallest gestures that make the biggest difference. Picking up after your dog on a morning walk may seem like a minor task, but it’s a simple courtesy that shows respect for the neighbors who share the same sidewalks, trails, and green spaces. It helps keep the community clean, welcoming, and enjoyable for all.
OPERATIONS & COMMUNIT Y STANDARDS
Rooted in Respect: Everyday Actions That Help Neighborhoods Thrive and Flourish
The same can be said for parking. Most of us have experienced the challenge of finding a convenient space or having a house full of guests. A little thoughtfulness, such as leaving room around driveways, using garages and driveways when possible, and considering how a parked vehicle may affect visibility or access, can help reduce frustration for those around us. These everyday moments rarely make headlines, but they help shape how a neighborhood feels. Taking a moment to consider how our choices may affect someone else can make a meaningful difference. Pride of Place One of the most visible ways we contribute to our community is through the curb appeal and overall care of our homes. Well-maintained lawns and landscaping, neatly trimmed shrubs and trees, and clean, well-kept exterior features, such as siding, shutters, and other visible elements of the home, can all contribute to an inviting streetscape. It’s not about perfection or having the “best” home on the block. It’s about taking pride in where we live and helping create a neighborhood that feels cared for and welcoming. That pride often extends beyond our own property lines. When we care for our homes, we contribute to the appearance and character of the neighborhood we all share. The result is something everyone can enjoy: attractive streets, welcoming surroundings, and a place we’re proud to call home. Caring for the Places We Share The same mindset applies to our parks, trails, playgrounds, and open spaces. These shared areas are part of what makes our community special. Picking up litter, treating amenities with care, and helping keep common areas clean are simple ways to make sure others can enjoy them, too. Being mindful of noise is another way we show consideration. Life is meant to be lived, and that includes backyard barbecues, celebrations, home projects, and children playing outside. The goal isn’t silence. It’s recognizing that we’re all sharing the same neighborhood and finding a balance between enjoying our homes and respecting our neighbors’ ability to enjoy theirs. At its heart, being a good neighbor isn’t complicated. It’s taking pride in your home, being mindful of how your choices affect those around you, and showing the same consideration for your neighbors that you’d hope to receive from them. Communities flourish when people choose kindness over convenience, thoughtfulness over indifference, and respect over entitlement. Those choices may seem small, but together they create the sense of belonging that turns a neighborhood into a community. When respect becomes part of the way we live, care for our homes, and interact with our neighbors, it helps create a community that is welcoming, connected, and built to thrive.

Roots and Routes in Brambleton Christine Elansary - Director of Community Services and Engagement
As the temperatures cool, it’s the perfect time to get outside and explore Brambleton. One of the best things about this time of year is finally being able to spend time outdoors without the summer heat. The trails, parks, and gathering spaces throughout the community seem a little busier, and every walk offers something different to enjoy. Legacy Loop Route One of the easier and more relaxed routes is the approximate two-mile loop beginning near the Town Center and connecting to Legacy Park Drive. It’s a great route when you want to enjoy the outdoors without venturing too far from home. Legacy Gazebo If you’re out early, the pond provides beautiful reflections as the day begins. The sunrise is a bonus, and the gazebo is a great place to pause for a few minutes and enjoy the quiet before the community starts to wake up. Dragonfly Park Years ago, this pocket park featured a small toddler playground where kids often stopped on their walk to and from Legacy Elementary. Today, it serves as a peaceful gathering space, complete with Adirondack chairs overlooking the water. Belmont Ridge/Legacy Park Waterfalls The waterfall is always a great stop to take in and enjoy. It’s a nice place to enjoy one of the community’s more unique landscape features. Legacy Park The 14-acre park remains a favorite destination because of the walking paths and mature trees. Town Center The final stretch loops through the Brambleton Town Center. The Town Center is one of those places that has changed significantly over the years while continuing to serve as a gathering place and event spot for the community. Hal & Berni Hanson Regional Park Dog Park Route Not every walk needs multiple stops. Hal & Berni is a destination in itself. The walk from Brambleton to the Hal & Berni Hanson Regional Park Dog Park is always worth it. The dog park is surprisingly busy, especially on weekend mornings. For dogs, the wooded setting, open space, and opportunity to socialize make it well worth the trip. Beaverdam Reservoir Route If you really want to log some steps, we recommend heading towards Beaverdam Reservoir. This route combines several community favorites and rewards you with one of the best views in the area. Brambleton Farmers Market On Sundays, the Farmers Market is an easy stop along the way. A cup of coffee from one of the vendors is a great addition to the walk. Beaverdam Reservoir While technically just outside the community, it’s easy to reach on foot from many parts of Brambleton. The reservoir offers beautiful water views, miles of trails, and some of the area’s best scenery, especially during the fall when the changing colors reflect across the water. There’s always something new to notice on the Brambleton trails, even along routes we’ve all walked countless times before. This fall, take a different route, explore a new trail, or revisit a familiar spot. You may be surprised by what you discover right in your own neighborhood.

The Stories Behind Our Fall Traditions Christine Elansary - Director of Community Services and Engagementfo
Some of Brambleton’s favorite fall traditions have been around for so long that it’s easy to forget how they started. As someone who has called Brambleton home for 23 years and has been helping shape Brambleton’s events and programs for the past 18 years, I’ve had the privilege of watching many of these traditions grow right alongside our community. One of those traditions is the Neighborhood Campout, which began in 2008 when I was hired to develop Brambleton’s events program. Working with the Activities Committee, we planned a simple idea: give neighbors a chance to experience camping close to home. In those early years, we provided firewood and s’mores kits, and residents brought their tents, sleeping bags, and the willingness to try something new. As interest grew, so did the campout. We added a movie, rock wall, other activities, and even invited local troops to host hands-on experiences. Scavenger hunts sent campers throughout Legacy Park and the Town Center, with the final clue leading participants back to collect their s’mores. Food trucks occasionally joined us, giving families another option for dinner and sometimes breakfast. Even during COVID-19, the tradition continued. We adjusted the format to allow families to enjoy the outdoors while keeping everyone safe. Camping remained free as activities were paused, and additional parks throughout the community were opened to provide more residents an opportunity to participate.
This year, the Neighborhood Campout returns on September 19-20, 2026, with activities back in full swing. Residents can enjoy a weekend of camping and fun, with campsites available for $15 and activity wristbands available for $7. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that planning community events means being willing to adapt. As Brambleton has developed, we’ve moved events, adjusted layouts, and reimagined spaces many times. Areas that once hosted activities eventually made way for new amenities and development projects, while new gathering spaces emerged throughout the community. Just like the events themselves, the places where we come together have evolved, helping us continue to create memorable experiences for residents. 20

BRAMtoberfest has a story of its own. What residents know today as one of Brambleton’s signature fall celebrations is actually the evolution of two longtime community favorites: Fall Festival and BrewFest. The first Fall Festival was held in 2005, when Brambleton was still a much smaller community. Hosted in Lantana Park and serving approximately 300 homes, it quickly became a popular gathering place for neighbors. Over time, it expanded to include carnival rides, live music, food, vendors, and family activities. Those carnival rides, in particular, became a favorite and remain one of the most memorable parts of the event’s history.
BrewFest came along in 2015, during the height of the craft beer festival trend. For several years, it brought together breweries, food, music, and neighbors in a fun and social atmosphere. As festival trends and community interests changed, we began looking for ways to preserve what residents loved most while creating something new. The result was BRAMtoberfest, which debuted in 2024 and returns for its third year in 2026. The event combines the family-friendly energy of Fall Festival with the social atmosphere that made BrewFest so popular. Today, BRAMtoberfest features live music, food, vendors, entertainment, beer tastings, and a special VIP hour, creating an experience that appeals to residents of all ages. This year’s BRAMtoberfest will take place on October 3 from 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM, with $20 (presale) ride bracelets and VIP tickets available for $65. Whether you’re coming for the music, amusements, food, family activities, or craft beer experience, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Looking back, it’s been rewarding to watch these traditions adapt alongside Brambleton itself. While the events may look different than they did twenty years ago, their purpose has never changed: creating opportunities for neighbors to connect, celebrate, and make lasting memories together. After all these years, there’s still nothing better than seeing friends and neighbors come together to enjoy the community we call home. I hope you’ll join us this fall at the Neighborhood Campout, BRAMtoberfest, and the many traditions that continue to make Brambleton special.

Troop 1430 Scouts Lend a Hand to Keep Brambleton Beautiful Michelle Debban- Communications Coordinator
Earlier this summer, 35 Scouts from Troop 1430 rolled up their sleeves and spent the day helping keep Brambleton clean and beautiful. Led by senior Scouts Prahas Gumma and Alex Hoagland, who planned and organized the event, volunteers cleaned five locations throughout the community, including three Brambleton ponds, Legacy Park, and Morning Walk Park. The effort was part of Scouting America’s Clean Waterways initiative, a nationwide program that encourages Scouts to protect local waterways and natural spaces through hands-on service. By removing litter from ponds, parks, and surrounding green spaces, the Scouts helped improve the health of local ecosystems while demonstrating their commitment to community stewardship. “Our goal for this was to give back to the community and all it has done for us,” said Prahas Gumma, Troop 1430 Webmaster and Clean-up Project Leader. “We wanted to show our duty as citizens of this community and how much we value each part of it.” Troop 1430, chartered by the Arcola Volunteer Fire Department, has a long tradition of community service. Assistant Scoutmaster Ravi Balaram noted that the project reflects Scouting’s core values and the troop’s dedication to serving others.
“As part of Scouting America’s Clean Waterways nationwide initiative and the celebration of America’s 250th, our Scouts turned stewardship into action. The Troop stands ready for continued opportunities to serve our communities,” Balaram said. For Alex Hoagland, Troop 1430 Senior Patrol Leader and Brambleton resident, the cleanup highlighted the character of the Scouts who participated. “We did what we did because it takes a special kind of person to go out of their way to try and make their surroundings better with nothing in return,” Hoagland said. “Troop 1430 is full of people just like this, who find the only reward they need is knowing they helped better their community.” The Brambleton Community Association thanks Troop 1430 and its dedicated volunteers for their efforts to preserve and protect the community’s parks, ponds, and natural areas for everyone to enjoy.

A Message from Supervisor TeKrony Laura TeKrony Supervisor - Little River District, Loudoun County
26
Loudoun County has 250 existing data centers with more in the pipeline and 95 existing or proposed utility substations with 30 more anticipated as demand for electricity continues to grow. Like many of you, I am alarmed by the continued proliferation of data centers and the massive new power lines and substations that are needed to run them. Since I became your supervisor in 2024, I have not voted for one data center application because I believe Loudoun is oversaturated. Loudoun does not have the electrical infrastructure to support high load data center users, and it is impacting our residents, schools and environmental resources. We need proactive planning and stronger standards for electrical infrastructure that protects our communities and puts residents first.
When I became a supervisor, one of my first motions was to add utility substations to Phase 2 of the County’s Data Center Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPAM) and Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOAM). In October 2025, I made a motion to require 500 feet between new substations and existing residential development to the work plan. New standards that will be considered include improving the appearance, design, screening, noise and other impacts of substations, particularly when they are located near residential neighborhoods and sensitive environmental areas. Other jurisdictions have demonstrated that substations do not have to be industrial-looking facilities that dominate the landscape. Loudoun should expect better.
electrical infrastructure within a building and can significantly reduce the physical footprint and visual impact. Given the proximity to residences and a daycare, reducing the footprint and improving the appearance of the substation is necessary. Even with screening, substations still have significant visual impacts with their transmission lines, utility poles and other equipment which can be substantial in height.
In July 2025, I submitted an initiative to require information about electrical infrastructure to be included in staff reports for data center applications. This is a basic matter of transparency. When the Board is asked to approve a high energy data center, we need to know where that infrastructure will be located, what transmission lines will be required, and what substations will serve the project. Electrical infrastructure is no different from roads, water and sewer. It is essential infrastructure that should be evaluated before we approve additional data center development.
The proposed NOVEC Deimos Substation application next to Brambleton comes to the Board this fall and provides a good example of why these standards are important. Deimos is located on the western side of Belmont Ridge Road at Arcola Mills Drive. The project is approximately 1,000 feet from Brambleton’s Evermont Trace neighborhood, but it is less than 500 feet from a daycare and residences south of Arcola Mills Drive. Deimos raises an important question about substation design. A gas-insulated substation (GIS) encloses much of the
Please share your ideas and concerns as your feedback is important. My staff and I look forward to hearing from you. Contact information for my office can be found at loudoun.gov/littleriver.
Residents should not be expected to shoulder the burden and live with the visual, environmental, utility, and quality-of-life consequences from data centers and electrical infrastructure. I will continue to propose common sense policies that protect our communities and put you first. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you.

Growing Up in Loudoun: From School Bus to E-Bike Contributed by Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office
Growing independence gives Loudoun students more ways to get around—walking, biking, riding an e-bike, taking the bus or traveling by car. With that freedom comes responsibility. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) reminds students, parents, drivers and pedestrians that everyone plays a role in keeping children safe. E-Bike Safety E-bikes can travel up to 20 or 28 mph, depending on their class. In June 2026, the LCSO launched a proactive e-bike safety program focused on education and prevention, particularly among juvenile riders. Virginia’s three e-bike classes: • Class 1: Pedal-assisted, up to 20 mph • Class 2: Throttle-assisted, up to 20 mph • Class 3: Pedal-assisted, up to 28 mph • Any other device is most likely unlawful to operate to and from school Class 3 requirements: Riders under 14 must be supervised by someone at least 18; operators and passengers must wear an approved, properly fitted helmet; and e-bikes must have a speedometer displaying mph. Class 3 e-bikes may be restricted on certain paths and may not be modified to increase their motor-powered speed. Parent, know your child’s e-bike class, speed and applicable rules/laws. This would include the use of electric scooters. Getting to School Safely Pedestrians: Use crossings, follow crossing guards and stay alert. Bicycle/Scooter/E-Bike Riders: Follow traffic laws, wear the appropriate rated helmet and never assume drivers see you. Ensure lights and reflectors are in place and operational. Bus Riders: Follow bus rules and the driver’s instructions. Parents: Discuss safe routes, traffic awareness and helmet use. Check bikes and e-bikes regularly. Drivers: Slow down in school zones and residential areas. Watch for students, buses and riders. Everyone: Stop when a school bus is stopped with its warning lights and stop arm activated, as required by law. Freedom Comes With Responsibility Slow down. Pay attention. Follow the rules. Wear your helmet. Look out for one another. Whether you walk, ride, take the bus or get a ride, getting to school safely is a shared responsibility. The LCSO is committed to education, prevention and keeping Loudoun students safe. From all of us at the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, we wish our students, parents, educators, and entire community a happy, safe, and successful 2026–2027 school year! Let’s look out for one another, make great memories, and make this a wonderful year for everyone! Brambleton Community Association Magazine

Every Family Has a Story Our Junior Journalists Share What Makes Their Families Unique Carla Badohoun
My family and I moved here from Richmond, Virginia. My mom and dad were born and raised in Togo, and my older sisters were also born there. They decided to move to Richmond in search of new opportunities. After living there for ten years, my dad got a job offer, and that’s when we moved to Brambleton. We’ve been happy living here for the past four years. Since my mom and dad were born in Togo, we mainly speak Ewe at home. Speaking Ewe helps us stay connected to our culture. One of my favorite things to do with my family is sitting together and having a good laugh at each other’s jokes. I really enjoy chatting with my family because there’s always laughter and happiness around. These moments might be simple, but I value them more than anything in the world. My family and I don’t have a tradition passed down through generations, but we value our special moments together, like family movie nights and the excitement of opening Christmas presents at midnight on Christmas Eve. We also like to spend holidays like Thanksgiving & Easter with extended family and family friends. I love spending quality time with my family. A valuable lesson my family has taught me is that being lazy can’t get you very far in life. I agree with this 100% because you have to work for everything you get. While your parents might pay for most of your stuff now, it will get to a point where you have to do it on your own. It is very important to work hard because working gets you stuff like food, water, clothing, and shelter. I truly believe that my family has played a big role in shaping who I am today. They’ve taught me so much, and the more time I spend with them, the more I learn. My family has shared valuable lessons with me, how to be a good person and so much more that’s hard to put into words. I’m grateful for my family and for how they help me become a better person every day. Diya Shyam
My family heritage begins in India. My family lived there for a long time before I was born. My mother’s family lived in Karnataka which is a state in India. I interviewed my mom, and she told me about her childhood. Her parents had three children and my greatgrandmother, who lived with them, to provide for. Only my grandfather had a job. They lived in a small house where my mom, her brothers, and my great-grandmother all slept in one small bedroom while my grandparents slept in the main bedroom. Often, they bought clothes and shoes three sizes big so they would last a few years. My father’s family lived in Tamil Nadu, India. My father was an only child. However, my father said he never felt like an only child because he was always surrounded by his friends and cousins. My father said his parents were very strict on academics and often put a lot of pressure on him. Teachers were often very strict on homework on exams. To entertain himself, my father would often play cricket, and bike to the local beach with his friends. They would also watch tv shows like Tom and Jerry and He-Man: Masters of the Universe. In 2013, I was born, and my family mostly lived at my maternal grandparents house. When I turned one, my father got a job in the United States of America. It was a big change, but we moved to America for better opportunities. Our first house was an apartment in Falls Church. It took time to adjust to a completely new place, but eventually it became home. Even though we don’t live in India anymore we still try to embrace our Indian culture as much as possible. We celebrate the big holidays like Diwali (Festival of Lights) and Pongal (Harvest Festival), and my sister and I call our grandparents, who still live in India, each week. We also speak the language Tamil at home. A lesson my family has taught me is to always be myself and to be kind, honest, and grateful all the time. I always try to implement my family’s lessons in my daily life whether I’m at school, home, or somewhere else. I also try to teach these things to my sister as well. My family has helped shape who I am by teaching me things when I need to be taught, but also letting me find my own way and letting me teach myself. I always embrace my culture as much as possible and remember to keep in touch with my relatives. Remembering where we came from helps us find who we are. 30

Arabella Coutry
Every family is different, which means that no family is “normal” or “weird.” If I had to describe every family in the world, the word I would use is unique. Being unique means being special in your own way. Today, I am going to tell you what makes my family unique. My family has lived in Brambleton for almost ten years, but most of our extended family is spread out. My dad’s family lives all over the northeastern United States and my mom’s family lives in New Jersey. My mom’s grandparents moved there and got married after they originally immigrated to America from Italy around 1955. That is a journey of 4,311 miles! Some families come from even farther away, like India, which is 7,500 miles away, or Australia, which is just under 10,000 miles away. Brambleton is lucky to have so many cultures and traditions. This diversity means we always have a lot to celebrate. My family celebrates Catholic holidays such as Christmas, Palm Sunday, and Easter. We also celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes, or La Vigilia. This Italian-Catholic tradition started in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We celebrate it on Christmas Eve because Catholics traditionally fast from meat on Christmas Eve. Some of my family’s favorites include salted cod, linguini with clam sauce, breaded fried fish, shrimp scampi, octopus salad, calamari, branzino, and clam chowder. Cooking these dishes together always fills our kitchen with laughter and wonderful aromas. My family loves staying active and spending time outside together. Our favorite outdoor activities include hiking local trails, walking, and riding bikes around the neighborhood with my dog, Bluebear, who always tries to keep up with us. When we are indoors, my family enjoys cooking from our family cookbook, which is packed with delicious Italian and American recipes passed down through generations, and we always look forward to Family Movie Nights. My dad will drive to the theater just to buy a giant bucket of hot, buttery popcorn. He brings it home to us while we wait comfortably on the couch. One lesson my family has taught me is that no matter what, family is always there for you. If I am sad, mad, or somewhere in between, it feels good to know that there is someone who will love you and stand with you through the rollercoaster that life takes you on. My family has helped shape who I am today by always being by my side, teaching me valuable lessons, and helping me learn from my mistake. No matter where I go in life, I know my family is always with me.

My parents moved here from India leaving all of their relatives behind, but they made a new family here with our friends and neighbors. My dad’s work was based in the U.S., so they moved here for better opportunities. Moving to Brambleton was a huge change for them because our entire family still lives in India. Even though we have no family here, we keep our traditions and culture alive. My parents come from different regions of India and follow different religions. My dad was born and raised in the central part of India, while my mom hails from the North. My dad is a Sikh, and my mom follows Hinduism. My dad’s family primarily speaks Punjabi at home, while my mom’s family speaks Hindi. Despite the differences in their backgrounds, they shared their holidays, culture, and celebrations with each other. They moved here, to America, and learned traditions and customs from here and made them their own. I believe I am a global citizen. While my family primarily speaks two languages at home, English and Hindi, we also are learning Spanish and Mandarin. While my favorite food is an Indian dish called kadhi with rice, we also love cooking and eating food from all over the world, including Thai, ramen, Italian, and Mexican food. I also celebrate many holidays and follow traditions from across India and America. Some of my favorite holidays are Diwali, Christmas, and Holi. Holi is a time where friends and family come to meet, and everyone participates in a water party using water balloons and colored powder. Diwali is called the festival of lights, and for good reason. Diwali is celebrated as the day Lord Ram returned home after defeating the evil king Ravana in a battle signifying the victory of good over evil. We light special candles called diyas and invite friends and family to share sweets and light firecrackers. Christmas is a time where we meet up with friends and family and exchange gifts. We buy a Christmas tree and decorate it with beautiful ornaments and lights. My family brought some of these traditions with themselves when they moved from India and adopted some of the others. ne thing my family has taught me over the years is that there are tradeoffs to every decision you make. I was born in O America but moved to India when I was three. Since then, I have moved six times. Every time that I moved, it was hard to leave friends and family behind, but it was somewhat exciting too, because I would get to make new friends while still keeping the old ones. In my mind, I am a part of one big global family. Brambleton Community Association Magazine
