      • Jefferson Field Hockey players practice drills in COVID-adapted green day practices.

      • Performing straddle jumps at Cheer Extreme Fairfax, seniors Matthew Hwang and Jenalyn Dizon attend one of their weekly tumbling practices (9/14/2020). To maintain safety protocols while developing cheer skills, these practices hold only about five students, all of whom must wear masks. “Tumbling practices really help the team with their abilities, and it’s so nice to see other team members, even if it isn’t the entire team,” Dizon said.
