ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Happy Tuesday Eagle Nation! Remember having even one small positive thought can change the rest of your day for the better. Make sure you get plenty of rest and get lots of vitamin C to help yourself as cold and flu season is upon us. Surprise surprise more snow is expected over the weekend. Old man winter can leave any day now. The chances to see our Winter athletes perform are getting smaller and smaller, so get out to see our teams play.
