06/03 Daily Eagle

Shake off yesterday's troubles and embrace today's blessings on this marvelous Tuesday, EAGLE NATION!!!!!! It is finally going to be a great weather day with some warmth.  Enjoy the next few days as rain comes back in for the weekend.  We are ending the close of the school year, sports are wrapping up, and ceremonies are taking place, so take time to look back and be proud of what you have accomplished this year. Below is the information on Fall Sports physicals.  Also, a reminder that the Fall Sports Start Date has been changed.  JV and Varsity sports will start on August 18th, and Modified Sports will start on August 25th.

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation

We want to give a huge SHOUT OUT to our TRAP team, as they won the Hudson Falls Challenge for the second year in a row. Way to go, everyone!!!!!  We didn't have any information on the event to be able to post until last night.  See the highlights below, as it was an exciting day that came down to the last shot and a tie-breaker.  This year, Galway won the team event again after a tie with the Berlin Mountaineers. The tie breaker went to the highest score, which was Wyatt Mead with a 25 straight! Wyatt shot his perfect score on the last relay of the day, so in a nail-biter finish, Galway came out victorious!  

Please join us on June 4th for the Wall of Fame Induction Ceremony

Fun fact of the day:   Your tongue is covered with roughly 8,000 taste buds, each containing up to 100 cells, which are what help you to taste food.
