ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Good morning! Let this Wednesday be a reminder that every sunrise brings new opportunities. Seize them with enthusiasm, EAGLE NATION! More than half of America’s farmers intentionally provide habitat for wildlife. These efforts have contributed to population increases in native wildlife such as deer, moose, and certain species of birds. It looks like Mother Nature struck on Monday and Tuesday. Let's hope it warms up soon, so we can see some green grass again.
The Varsity Volleyball team plays in the State Quarterfinals tomorrow at Mount Saint Mary's College in Newburgh, where they will take on the #1 team in the state, Mount Academy, at 4:30 p.m. See the link below for ticket information. There is a spectator bus for students in grades 6-12 interested in attending. You'll need to be signed up by noon today. All spectators are responsible for purchasing their own tickets beforehand. If you want to attend and take the bus, please sign up on the sign-up list in the High School Office. The bus will depart from school at 1:50 p.m. on Thursday. Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!
