THS Honor Roll Lunch Celebration!
Thomasville High School…the school where it’s cool to be smart! Thomasville High School’s administration hosted its 1st Honor Roll Lunch Celebration recognizing the hardwood of those students that either made A or A/B Honor Roll for the first and second quarter of this school year.
The THS campus administration, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Reese, Mrs. Rollins, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Reynolds, and Mr. Clatto provided a complete dining experience for the students which included, serving and even cleaning up after them (they shouldn’t get used to that!) Students also had access to a complete ice-cream Sunday bar. The goal was two fold, recognize these students, while also inspiring others to take their studies seriously.

Mrs. Prothro’s Food Science students performed a candy acid experiment. They tested Sour Patch Kids, Nerds, Skittles, peppermint, and Smarties to determine which candies had the most acid. After dissolving each candy in warm water they sprinkled a spoonful of baking soda. The dissolved acid reacted with the baking soda creating bubbles of carbon dioxide gas. The more bubbles they saw the more acid the candy had.

Organic Treats!
The Science of Organic Food Mrs. Kathryn Prothro’s Food Science students toured Dreaming Cow Dairy, one of three familyowned, grass based, New Zealand-style rotational grazing dairies. Located in Pavo, Ga, the diary produces tasty, healthy, and high quality yogurt, along with its line of yogurt drinks called Lush.
Environmental Science students at their best! Mrs. Fitzgerald’s students used soil composition charts and soil texture charts to determine what type of soil was included in their sample of dirt from their home or from around the school grounds. Students experimented with di#erent soil conservation barriers such as cotton, burlap, pea gravel and sand in order to determine the material best suited to prevent soil erosion.
