As spirit week has kicked off, students and staff at West Forsyth are alive with school spirit. With athletic events and pep rallies to look forward to, the campus is full of student excitement and energy. Here’s and inside look into why.

For just the second time in school history, the West Forsyth girls basketball team will play in the NCHSAA Class 4-A State Championship game this Saturday, March 16, at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh. The Lady Titans pushed past David W. Butler High School last Saturday with a decisive score of 57-39, crowning them the Western Region champions. With just one game separating them from the title of state champions, the Lady Titans are anxious to show Southeast Raleigh what they can do. If you want to show your support, come on out to the game! Tip off is at 2:30 p.m. and tickets are $15. Hope to see you there!

Students interested in a career in sports marketing or business management should attend an open house held by both the Carolina Thunderbirds and the Winston-Salem Dash on Tuesday, May 14, at 6:30 p.m. in the BB&T Sports Park. The organizations are looking to give students the chance to gain hands-on experience in the business side of running a sports team. The opportunity is open to all students ages 14-20. Space is limited, so all those interested should RSVP with Paul Stephens at paul.stephens@wsdash.com or 336-714-6878.

All seniors who have received any scholarship or merit award letters should bring a copy to Student Services so their achievements may be recognized. Students should include awards from all schools, regardless of whether or not they plan to attend the university in question. All letters should be turned in by Monday, May 13, so that there is enough time to prepare for Awards Day on Wednesday, May 22.
