On February 28, the entire Whitefield community gathered together for a spirited ceremony to witness the burial of the school's 20th-year time capsule.
The concert band set the tone by playing "Celebration" and "The Final Countdown" as students entered the amphitheater. Dr. Bracher made a few remarks before Mr. McBride, one of the school's inaugural teachers, prayed over the school's future and gave thanks for the past 20 years. Student Body and Senior Class Vice Presidents Jonathan Wood and Willie Fulks placed the capsule in the ground, while Student Body and Senior Class Presidents Natalie Bell and Maggie Leigh Faulk assisted the PreK4 students in "burying" the capsule. Afterward, everyone received a "I was here the 20th year" T-shirt to commemorate the occasion.
Mark your calendar now for the year 2037, when the capsule will be unearthed!
