ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Happy Tuesday, EAGLE NATION!  Start your day with a grateful heart, and watch the positivity flow into the nooks and crannies of your life.  Well, Mother Nature delivered a good one over the weekend.  At least Superintendent Miller also delivered us a snow day yesterday.  Skiers and snowmobilers are loving the weather right now.  Hopefully, everyone was able to get all the snow cleaned up.  There is a possible Nor'Easter coming up the coast on Sunday. Let's hope this misses us.  Congratulations to our wrestling team, as they brought back the Greg Rockwood tournament and finished second overall.

We got good news and bad news on Swishin' Schwab's appointment.  She has a Grade 1 Hamstring sprain, but the doctors are shutting her down, so it doesn't turn into a Grade 2 or 3 sprain.  Swishin' Schwab is sad, but vows to be back next year for the game.

  • So who was able to guess Friday's newest member was?????????  

    • Did you guess: Nicole "The Sniper" Marotta   

      • The Sniper gets her name from her lights-out shooting from the previous years on the GTA team.

We are quickly rounding out the roster for the GTA.  Our next member is a longstanding player for the GTA and has re-signed for another season.  He loves shooting the rock from downtown and getting in down low to rebound.  He comes in at 6'2."  He was a track star in high school and college, and is a workout enthusiast.   He also loves his country music.  Can you figure out who it is?  The roster is almost complete, with only a few spots left.

Teachers vs. DJ's Roster to date:
  • Nicole "The Sniper" Marotta

Fun fact of the day:  When boxers go back to their corner during the round break, it is crucial for them to have their arms down in order to let the blood run back into the limbs, boosting their recovery.

  • In 1976, the first episode of the sitcom Laverne & Shirley, a spin-off of Happy Days, aired on ABC. It starred Cindy Williams and Penny Marshall, who later became one of the first women to achieve consistent commercial success as a movie director.
  • In 1945, the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz, in German-occupied Poland, was liberated by Soviet troops.
  • In 1880, American inventor Thomas Edison patented the incandescent lamp.
