Firefighters found smoke in the building, and located and extinguished a fire in a conference room and utility room in the area of the Upper School's main lobby, Piringer said. He reported that the fire was caused by the spontaneous combustion of oily rags.
No injuries were reported, and the fire caused over $50,000 in damage.
As a result of the fire, school is canceled today, Tuesday, May 5. But parents have been notified that a scheduled AP Calculus exam will still be given today, however. The school says AP Calculus students should report to the Crivella Room at 7:45 AM this morning.
The school is located at 9029 Bradley Boulevard.

Holy Child is not in DC.
6:54AM do you want Dyer to teach you about hashtags?
The use of a hashtag does not magically change the location of this school.

I read this in the article:
"Connelly School of the Holy Child in Potomac"
Doesn't say DC...am I missing something?
And since you mentioned, it doesn't say Bethesda, either.

The article says Potomac.
I would love to hear Dyer's rationale. Thanks!
How come this post is hash tagged DC and Bethesda when the article says it was in Potomac? Thanks!
