ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Hello Monday! Today is your chance to shine, to be the best version of yourself, and to radiate positivity.  Welcome Back, EAGLE NATION!!!!!! We hope you had a wonderful Break and Easter, and that you got lots of relaxation and spent time with family.  Today is the start of the fourth marking period as we head into the final stretch run of the school year, so make sure you stay focused and cross that finish line.  There was a lot of action on the diamond over break, so make sure to check out the scores and highlights.  Spring sports kick it into full gear this week as all athletic teams will have games/events. The Varsity Softball team hosts its Cancer game tonight as they host Mayfield in support of a 5-year-old from Mayfield who is currently battling cancer.  


Check out the schedule below for the season (please know that weather can cause dates and times to be subject to change for games and events). 

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!



Team Sports pictures will be on April 23rd.  All athletes received envelopes before break.




Shout out to Emma Menge and Kristina Becker for their selections by the Times Union.

Fun fact of the day: Earth's rotation is changing speed. It's slowing, and this means that, on average, the length of a day increases by around 1.8 seconds per century.
