Hey everyone! I hope that you all had a great week last week, and will have another one this week!

I know that everyone was very proud of our Bulldog football team on Friday for winning at Ripley. The final score was NA-33 and Ripley-28. 

Coach Cossey’s 5th period Physics class conducted an Egg Drop Experiment at the football stadium last Wednesday. Students spent the first ten minutes of class time preparing, and then they headed to the stadium. Each container was designed and cushioned at the discretion of the student. The goal was to preserve the egg throughout the flight and landing.

On August 24, Ms. Burchfield’s senior classes had Petty Officer Second Class Chris R. Mims, Navy Recruiter talk with them about opportunities available to them in the U.S. Navy.
