How can we help? During Blythewood Spirit Week, the Archery Club, sponsored by Mr. Houck, will help Amelia learn to shoot a bow and arrow. Student Activities will host two fundraising events. The first is Hat Day on November 5th in which students can pay a $1 to wear a hat. The second in the Mr. Blythewood pageant. Female faculty members will dress up as men. The contestants and their fans will work throughout the week to raise money. The contestant who raises the most money will be crowned Mr. Blythewood at the pep rally.
