ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Take a moment on this Friday to celebrate the little wins: showing up, doing your best, and staying strong, EAGLE NATION!  It was a slow evening for athletics last night.  The wrestlers lost a tough battle, but our 7th-grade modified boys' basketball team cruised to victory.   We have a loaded evening and a big day tomorrow.  Our Boys and Girls JV and Varsity play Schoharie tonight, and tomorrow is the return of the Greg Rockwood Wrestling tournament.  It starts at 8:00 a.m., so dress warm and stop by tomorrow to see some great wrestling and support our team.

Swishin' Schwab gets a second opinion tonight, so we will keep our fingerscrossed until we hear the results. 

  • Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen, who was yesterday's newest member?????????  

    • Did you guess: K-Show Gowan   

      • That's right, K-Show Gowan got her name for the excitement she brings to the field and court, and all the amazing deep three-pointers she's constantly knocking down.  Move over, Steph Curry, because K-Show is going to show you how it's done.

The next member of the Teachers Squad is a star returner after taking a year off.  She was the leading scorer for the Teachers two years ago.  She is a shooting guard standing at 5'5."  She also attended high school at another league school, where she played soccer, basketball, and track & field.  She still holds her high school record in the 400m hurdles and is always blasting country music.  Can you figure out who our most recent signing was?  You're going to have to wait till Monday to find out.  The roster is filling fast, and we are meeting with a few more today to try to get them to sign a contract with us.

Teachers vs. DJ's Roster to date:
  • K-Show Gowan
  • Jenna The Jet Forsey
  • Ross the Rim Ripper Hayden
  • Alley-Ooping Adams
  • Crossover Canell
  • Slammin' Jammin' Kirvin
  • Deep Dishin' D'Alessandro
  • Swishin' Schwab - Awating a second opinion on a hamstring injury
  • Sam Ratatouille Ratti-Robinson
  • No Mercy Mac

It is not going to be anything like Spring over the next few days.  Arctic Cold moves in today, and the possibility of -30 windchill overnight and tomorrow morning. Dress warm and be safe, Eagle Nation. After the cold moves out, Mother Nature is looking to drop anywhere from 10 - 20" of snow Sunday morning through Monday evening. Old Man Winter, we feel you have been here long enough this year. Please be nice and leave soon. Will Superintendent Miller grant us a snow day on Monday?  Think Spring!


Cows are very intelligent, as extensive studies have shown that cows understand cause-and-effect relationships. For example, cows can think critically and solve complex problems to achieve a reward, such as food or a brush! In fact, serotonin released in their brain during these experiments shows that they enjoy these intellectual challenges and will show signs of excitement and pleasure when they solve them!
