Bonnie Hayman
Middle School Counselor of the Year
La Mesa Arts Academy, La Mesa-Spring Valley School District
Bonnie Hayman has been a school counselor for more than 30 years in the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District. During the pandemic, she has led the La Mesa Arts Academy (LMAAC) community of students, families, and staff through this emotional time, and she did it all with her usual level of calm, grace, skill, and compassion. Bonnie was part of the design team for LMAAC as a place for character development, inclusivity, and healing for students in grades 4 to 8 who reported being bullied, disconnected, and judged in previous school experiences.

Bonnie will be recognized and celebrated alongside Cherryl Baker and Ann Pierce, our two other School Counselors of the Year, on Feb. 4 at the San Diego School Counselor Con.

Even if schools are still on a remote or hybrid learning schedule, there are strategies educators can employ to help get to know their learners better, and conversely, help them feel seen.
From pre-K through college, 2020 was a time for interrupted learning. Amid the switch last March from in-person classes to nearly all virtual, students and their families counted their losses by year’s end: Lost time with their teachers. Lost hours of face-to-face learning. Lost opportunity with friends to play and have fun. To capture the impact, EdSource followed 16 families from across California.
