Keeping Students on Track
Bolles Lower School Whitehurst Campus unveiled its new and improved Bulldog Express on Oct. 9 to a crowd that included the entire student body, teachers, administrators and The Bolles mascot, Champ. Due to the generosity of the Powell family, the brand-new train is now taking passengers on several routes on the Whitehurst Campus, including to and from lunch at Verlander Hall every day.
Students, decked out with conductor hats and train whistles, watched President and Head of School Tyler Hodges drive the train up the hill to deliver the orange-and-blue locomotive. Billy Powell and Ben Powell were recognized for their gift at the unveiling, which also honored Hugh Powell, making this addition to the Whitehurst Campus a reflection of the family’s four generations at Bolles.
The train’s maiden voyage was taken by the youngest Powell and her Bolles classmates, but all students had the opportunity to ride the Bulldog Express throughout the day.
