ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Happy Wednesday Eagle Nation! Challenges are what make life interesting, overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. It is another cold one out there today, so make sure to bundle up. I don't think old man winter is going to leave anytime soon. The chances to see our Winter athletes perform are getting smaller and smaller, so get out to see our teams play. It is Senior Night for the Boys' Basketball and Cheerleaders as they host the Storm from Schoharie. Come out to support both.
