The HWC is on the Map!

The HWC was recently added to a map of Secondary Schools Writing Centers by the International Writing Center Association! You can view the map of all of the Secondary Schools Writing Centers here.

When looking at the map, you'll notice a dense cluster of Writing Centers in Northern Virginia. We're proud to be part of such a strong network of  High School Writing Centers!

HWC November 2013 Statistics Report

We had our busiest month EVER!

HWC October 2013 Statistics Report

Now that November is nearly over, we decided it was time for us to finally share our October data! ;)

October 2013 was the busiest opening month we have ever had. We opened on October 7, and by October 31, we had conducted over 120 tutoring sessions!

Thanks for helping us to kick off the year, Herndon!

We've Been Busy!

This month, the HWC has been busy working with Mr. Cupolo's and Mrs. Mentis' ESOL 4 students on their Integrity essays. The English 9HN students have also begun trickling in with their Ishmael essays. We've been delightfully busy!

The HWC Celebrates the National Day on Writing!

On Monday, 10/21, and Tuesday, 10/22, the Herndon Writing Center celebrated the National Day on Writing. Over the course of two days, we hosted approximately 40 students and teachers in the writing center as they wrote on silly prompts, such as "Re-write a classic fairy tale as though it were set at HHS", or "You are a pirate. Describe the best day of your life." Additionally, Ms. Wright's English classes participated within their English classes. Because we have received so many submissions, we will publish four short pieces in one blog post each week.

Thanks for celebrating writing with us, Herndon!!!
