A freshman at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney is being recognized for going above and beyond to help local students feel confident and prepared for prom.

Nora Mann recently organized a community-wide collection drive, gathering more than 200 dresses, tuxedos, shoes, and accessories for students at other local high schools. Inspired by the idea that every student deserves to feel celebrated on prom night, Nora reached out across her neighborhood and community to collect donations.

Nora didn’t stop at collecting items. She carefully organized everything by size and color, transformed the space into a boutique-style setup, and even replaced hangers and added tags to give the collection a more polished and welcoming feel.

Nora also spent two full days of her spring break at the school helping set everything up. Despite the time and effort involved, and a community school liaison from a local high school noted that Nora never asked for service hours or recognition in return. “Nora Mann, a freshman at Good Counsel, recently turned an idea into something truly meaningful,” the liaison shared. “Her generosity, initiative, and dedication truly made a lasting impact, and we are incredibly grateful for the heart and care she brought to this effort.”

The result is a resource that will help ensure more students have access to formalwear and the opportunity to fully enjoy one of high school’s most memorable events.

Hinzi’s is set to make its Montgomery County debut today, with a soft opening scheduled for Thursday, April 16 at its new Germantown location at 13015 Wisteria Drive, in the former Mangino’s space.

The restaurant announced it will welcome customers from 11am to 9pm, offering a first look at its menu of bold fusion bowls and popular items from its Frederick location.

Founded by Hina “Hinzi” Awan, the concept launched in 2024 in Frederick and blends Pakistani-inspired flavors with Mediterranean influences. Awan’s culinary journey began years earlier while experimenting with recipes in her Gaithersburg middle school kitchen, ultimately shaping the vision for a fast-casual concept focused on fresh, flavorful, and approachable dishes.

The menu centers on customizable rice bowls and kati rolls, with options such as butter chicken, gyro, paneer tikka, falafel, and chickpea masala. Handheld offerings include chicken kati rolls, crispy chicken rolls, and paneer tikka rolls, while sides like samosa chaat, mirchi masala fries, and hummus with pita round out the savory lineup. Drinks include masala chai and mango lassi, with desserts such as rice pudding and baklava also available.

The Germantown opening marks Hinzi’s first expansion into Montgomery County, bringing its growing fanbase a new local spot to experience the brand’s fusion of flavors.
