ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Thursday is the future that you've been waiting for, so do something today that your future self will thank you for. EAGLE NATION!!!!!! It's raining like crazy out at the moment, but it's supposed to clear off and be in the 70s this afternoon. The varsity baseball team is scheduled to open its season today. Let's hope they get it this afternoon, and JV baseball opens its season tomorrow against Lansingburgh.
Make sure you get out this weekend to see the drama club's presentation of James and the Giant Peach. It is going to be an incredible show with all the time and work our students have put in preparing.
Check out the schedule below for the season (please know that weather can cause dates and times to be subject to change for games and events).
