Editor's note: This article was provided by The Cappies, an educational program in which high school students are trained as theatre critics and have their work published in local news outlets. By Emilie Knudsen, Oakcrest School “I am not afraid of life or death or nothingness, but of wasting it like I had never been…” These are the words of a brilliant individual, Charlie Gordon. However, Charlie’s story isn’t a usual one. He started off labeled as “mentally retarded” and was mocked by his co-workers for being stupid, but after a highly experimental operation based off of the same operation performed on a mouse, Algernon, Charlie Gordon’s intelligence skyrockets over several months. However, Algernon slowly loses his own intelligence, …

Officer Lou Munoz, a school resource officer at Westfield High School, spoke with the Citizens Advisory Committee about his duties at the school.
There are always going to be challenges for a school resource officer at a high school with thousands of students. At Westfield High School, some of the biggest challenges are Twitter and thefts of electronics. MPO Lou Munoz, who's worked as the school resource officer at Westfield for the last eight years, spoke with the Sully District Citizens Advisory Committee Wednesday about what his job entails and the issues he encounters with the students. "There's 2,800 students. My first few years there, we had well over 3,000 students, with only one cop—which is me. So you do have a lot of issues, a lot of things happen on a daily basis," said Munoz, a 21-year veteran of the Fairfax County Police Department. Read more: Parents, FCPS Official …

"Flowers for Algernon" opens at Westfield High School Friday and continues through the weekend. A summary of the play is available on the Westfield Theatre Boosters Facebook page: "Set in 1965, this powerful play tells the story of an endearing mentally retarded man, Charlie Gordon. Charlie's teacher, Alice Kinnian, recommends he undergo a highly experimental brain procedure in the hopes that he will become progressively smarter. Although seemingly successful, the complicated procedure brings equally complex repercussions: relationships are vastly changed, power struggles ensue, and deep memories from a dark, unwholesome past are finally confronted in this haunting and touching narrative." Tickets are $10 online or $12 at the door. High …

Westfield High School teacher and counselor's side business, Turbo Tutoring, provides high school students with accelerated test preparation.
Having worked in Fairfax County Public Schools for years, Gregg Greentree and Dan Harris know that between after-school jobs, homework and sports, it's sometimes hard for students to set aside time for vital SAT test preparation. Many traditional six-week-long SAT preparation courses cost thousands of dollars, and some students have difficulty committing that much time and money. At the beginning of the school year, Greentree, an English teacher at Westfield High School, and Harris, a counselor with a background in math, decided to team up to offer something a little different. The idea behind Turbo Tutoring was simple. "Let’s make it cheap, let’s make it fast, let’s make it so everyone can do it," said Greentree. Greentree and Harris, …

While I appreciate the job this obviously dedicated man does, it sounds like many of the issues he is being forced to handle might be better allocated to a school Counselor or Social Worker. In a world where we keep seeing the affects of poor access to mental health services on our society, wouldn't it make sense in a community as large as Westfield to have Mental Health professionals dealing … more ›
