NCAA ELIGIBILITY AND RECRUITING NIGHT:
WITH RICK WIRE- PRESIDENT OF DYNAMITE SPORTS

Parents if you are wondering how to get your Student Athlete Noticed, Recruited and/ or a Scholarship?  Please join us on Wednesday April 11th at 7:30pm in the Auditorium here at Hayfield SS for an electric Recruiting Seminar from Rick Wire.  ALL Parents and Athletes grades 8-12 are invited attend.

This is a seminar to prepare parents and athletes for the recruiting road ahead — complete with all its bumps — will be held on April 11th, 2018 at Hayfield Secondary School. “Guiding the College-Bound Athlete” will provide information and topics for every student-athlete in middle and high school and their parents to educate and prepare them for opportunities and careers after graduation.  Many student-athletes who aspire to play at the college level are not familiar with the ins and outs of academic requirements and eligibility as they need to be in order to pursue their goals. This information is vital for moving on to the collegiate level as a Student Athlete.

Rick Wire will present an hour-long seminar at 7:30 p.m. in Hayfield Secondary School’s auditorium, April 11th. Interested participants are asked to come early, if possible, to receive a number of handouts and watch a POWERFUL pre-program video

Attendees will receive a FREE SAT/ACT Prep DVD Valued at $250!

*Limit 1 per family/ S&H not included

 

1st Annual College Commitment Ceremony:

 

If you or your student is playing or performing at the next level you are invited to our 1st Annual College Commitment Ceremony on Thursday, April 19th at 9:45 am in the auditorium.

 

We would like to congratulate you and your family for making the commitment to play sports or perform at the collegiate level. This event will provide our students and their parents/guardians the opportunity to celebrate their student’s accomplishments at Hayfield Secondary School.

 

We are asking that you send two photos; one when they were young and one current from their respective sport or activity (action or in uniform) to Jeff Herbert at jsherbert@fcps.edu no later than Friday, April 13th.

 

Light refreshments will be provided and the press will be invited to cover the ceremony.

ANGP – Flocking Fun:

Do you know someone who is having a birthday, new baby, anniversary or other special celebration? Why not celebrate in style with a whole flock of pink flamingos?

Hayfield Secondary School's 2018 All-Night Grad Party (ANGP) Committee will "flock" your friend's yard under the cover of darkness. Your special person will awaken to a front yard filled with a dozen brightly colored birds, along with a card announcing who sent the flock. The birds will be picked up the following evening.

Each flocking costs $25 and includes 12 flamingos and a personalized card from the sender. For an additional $10, we can dress one flamingo for the occasion. Please note that we can flock only yards within the Hayfield Secondary School pyramid or nearby neighborhoods (subject to ANGP approval). Please allow at least one week's notice. There will be an additional $20 rush charge for a flocking with less than one week's notice, if the flocking can be arranged.

Please see https://tinyurl.com/FlockingFlyer for more information!  Thank you and Go Hawks!
