ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Some people call it Thursday, I like to call it Friday eve, Eagle Nation. Possible record low temperatures this weekend.  Make sure you have your gas tanks filled up tomorrow, and you dress properly if you head out anywhere over the weekend.  It is also Super Bowl weekend.  Who does everyone have winning, or do you just watch for the commercials?  Last night was a great Senior Night for our Boys Basketball and Cheerleading Squads.  There is just one week left of Winter Sports, except for a few teams participating in Sectionals, so get out to catch some action while you still can. The Winter Olympics are in full action today. It's a good weekend to stay in, stay warm, and watch the Olympics.

Cows learn through play.  Cows can often seem slow and sedate, but they’re also playful, especially when they’re young. When they have enough space, they love to run about, chase each other, and even play with balls. They might be a little too big to play fetch with, though.
