In November, Hayfield High School's English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Teacher, Theresa Downs, led 80+ students on a field trip to the Molina Family Latino Gallery at the Smithsonian's American History Museum. Students enjoyed learning about the exhibit titled, "Latin History is U.S. History."

A great tradition continues! Advanced Placement (AP) Government classes were visited by one of Hayfield's School Resource Officers (SROs), Officer Grace. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss information with Officer Grace to help bring understanding around student rights in schools. These conversations ushered Government students into their unit about civil liberties and student’s rights in school. |

In November, the Middle School Girl’s Circle worked together to make turkey cupcakes and wrote about what they were thankful for about school for the holidays. Girl’s Circle is a fun social skills group where students learn about developing coping skills, self-esteem, how to be themselves, how to make friends and have positive peer relationships, and how to connect with trusted adults in school. |
The Hawk Writing Center continues to serve our community of writers. Students in grades 7-12 are welcome to come for support on any writing assignment from their peers. The writing center, located in Ms. Passino’s room – 2445, is available for tutoring in-person during 6th period along with period 13.
Students can bring their lunch and work with a tutor to brainstorm, revise, and edit written work. If a student can’t come during those times, they can submit their writing for feedback: tinyurl.com/HWCasync2023.
A tutor will respond with feedback within 72 hours. Check out tutoring of an AP US History DBQ in action!

Seen at Dulles International Airport
Recently, a staff member was dropping off a family member at Dulles International Airport when they observed a display highlighting ten of the 2022 FCPS Scholastic Art Award winners. Upon closer inspection, they noticed not one, but two Hayfield winners had artwork displayed at the airport! It made waiting in line for security so much more enjoyable.
