ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
May your Friday be sprinkled with positivity, your heart be light, and your spirit be lifted. May the weekend ahead be filled with joy, laughter, and countless reasons to smile, Eagle Nation! The sun is supposed to be out all day, with temperatures reaching the mid- to upper 50s. Let's hope continues to trend warmer as we approach May.
We had a lot of action on the diamond and track last night, so make sure you check out the scores and highlights.
The school year will be over before we know it, as we only have 34 class days left in high school, so make sure you stay on top of everything.
Spring Sports will be over in the blink of an eye, so get out to catch some games and meets before it's too late.
As we get into the final stretch of the school year, remember there are many events, so keep tuned in, as there are a lot of moving parts.

Cow versus cattle. Female cattle are called cows; male cattle are called bulls. Generally, in English, we have a single word that we can use to refer to both the male and female of a species, like a cat or a dog. But cows are unique in that we don't have a singular noun that refers equally to an adult cow or a bull; we just have cattle, which is plural. In colloquial usage, cattle are often referred to as cows, like in some of the references here.
