Hi, my name is Sydney Murphy, I am a junior and this is my second year on staff. I play soccer and I run track. Last year I won 2 SNOW awards and transitioned from just writing stories to writing stories and designing page 11. I am excited to continue writing stories for the paper this year and I look forward to returning to staff.

ARTISTIC BRILLIANCE: Painting with diligent strokes, junior Noah Dougherty creates a fun design on the arm of a fellow Bowie student. The Bowie Key Club held a painting booth at Bulldog Roundup offering candy and drawings to younger kids. “Bulldog Roundup was an incredibly fun and engaging experience,” Dougherty said. “I really enjoyed how it allowed us to connect with the community and showcase the various clubs at Bowie. It was a great way to interact with future Bowie students and share the spirit of our school.”
