ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Good Morning EAGLE NATION!!! School is closed for Thanksgiving break, but sports are still in action over the weekend, and league play begins next week. Ensure you get everything picked up outside as they call for 5-8 inches of snow tomorrow. Be safe on the roads if you are traveling and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We hope you all get to spend time with family and loved ones, and you get to eat a lot, and give thanks.

Last night was the return of the Blue and Gold Game for basketball. There was a great turnout and all the players and cheerleaders had fun kicking off the season. The game started with a monster block by Sam Reedy on the first play of the game.

Today's moon is 11% visible and is in Waning Crescent as we are four days away from the New Moon.
