ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Happy Thursday, EAGLE NATION! Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions. Some call it the middle of nowhere. We call it home and the center of everything. The Varsity Volleyball team, which earned the #1 seed in Section 2 Class C sectionals, will host the #8 seed Coxsackie-Athens tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. We hope you all come out to support them.
Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!

Fun fact of the day: Prince William and Prince Harry have a half-sister named Laura, who largely stays out of the public eye. She was born in 1978, and her parents are Queen Camilla and her then-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles.
Did you know? When Usain Bolt won the 100m sprint in the Olympic final, he only ate chicken nuggets from McDonald's as he didn't want to risk getting an upset stomach from the local cuisine.
