02/10 Daily Eagle

ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Welcome back Wagle Nation! We are 5 days away from the Mid-Winter Recess. Sorry we have missed a few days of the Eagle, but the flu hit me hard and has had me down for several days.  Make sure you get plenty of rest and get lots of vitamin C to help yourself.  Today is your chance to shine, be your best version of yourself and radiate positivity.  The snow and cold keep coming this winter, as it seems to be an old-fashioned winter.  Winter Sports regular seasons are wrapping up quickly this week, so make sure you get out to see our teams play.  The Boys and Girls Modified Basketball Teams wrap up their season tonight.
