There have been many changes to Brandywine over the past four years. One is the ending of the ever popular "Great Bulldog Day." Many students were perturbed by this, mainly because the school makes a very slim effort to provide any sort of activity to entertain the students. As of this year we have had a homecoming dance, a pep rally (that students were required to pay for), and a prom for seniors only. Students often moan and groan about the lack of fun at Brandywine. Well, the teachers have decided to take action. They are bring back Great Bulldog Day!
For those unfamiliar with what exactly takes place on Great Bulldog day it is day where different classes compete in mini-events, which all gain points. At the end of the day the class with the most points wins the entire event. The games include things such as volleyball, tug-of-war, softball, powder puff football and more.
Though the day is fun, students have different feelings about it. When asked about her thoughts on Bulldog Day, Senior, Chelsea Woicekowski said "When we had it my freshman and sophomore year it was really fun! My powder puff football team was undefeated!" Other students feel differently, Senior, Brittany Caputo remarked "it's a good opportunity to skip school and not miss anything."
Whether students plan on coming to Great Bulldog day or not, most would agree the effort from the staff is a good thing.

It's a great way to foster school spirit, not an excuse to skip school!
ReplyDeleteCan someone please post on this page that the Spring Semi-formal is another attempt by the Brandywine HS PTSA to bring some school spirit back and fun into the school. It is a real dress up function and not just a regular school dance. It is for all students, Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshman and their guests upon approval. The students asked for this event and it was put together from hard working PTSA members. If tickets are not purchased, it will prevent events like this happening in the future. It takes allot of work to get it together and it will be very sad if we have to cancel it in the end.
