Bulldog Boutique:
Yes to the Dress!!
The first Bulldog Boutique was held on Saturday, March 4th at Forsyth United Methodist Church. Mrs.
Barfield
, along with several community members and
civic clubs like the Forsyth Women's Club, organized the event which allowed students to shop or swap for a prom dress. Students paid $10 to shop or were allowed to swap for a dress. The boutique was a great success and will be an
annual event! If you are wondering what to do with your prom dress from
Saturday, please consider donating it to this worthy cause!

Engineering Students Take on the Soapbox Derby!
For the 2nd year in a row, students in Mrs. Barfields' Foundations of Energy course raced in the Magnolia Street Soapbox Derby Race over Spring Break! This year, students reverse engineered their car, "Black Betty" in class prior to raceday. Students came to enjoy the Annual Event and race our car.
This year we placed 9th out of 17 teams, falling only a tenth of a second behind the top finishers!
