ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Happy Wednesday, EAGLE NATION! Believe in yourself and all that you are.  Know that there is something inside of you that is greater than any obstacle.  Farming lifestyle isn't just about the animals; it's about the beliefs and values passed down through generations, ensuring things are better for those yet to come. The nights and mornings are getting colder, so make sure you dress properly.  Come out to Ballston Spa High School tonight to support the Varsity Volleyball in their Sectional Semi-Finals match against Maple Hill. 
You'll need an entrance ticket, so be sure to grab one early. Link is below.

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!


Attention Eagle Nation! 

The National Junior Honor Society has a new project - Treats for Troops! We’re asking students to donate their extra wrapped Halloween candy to be sent to American soldiers stationed all over the world. This event lasts between November 3rd and 7th.

  • Elementary

    • Each grade (PreK-5) will have a box in the cafeteria. The grade that donates the most candy will win an ice cream party for their grade sponsored by Stewarts!

  • Middle/High School

    • During A, B, and C lunches, students from grades 6-12 will donate wrapped candy into boxes to receive a vote for their teacher of choice. Whichever box gets the most candy in it will cause the chosen teacher to get pied in the face during our next pep rally! The options are Mr.Levin, Mr. Nettleton, Mr. Kirvin, and Coach Glenn!

Registration for Modified, JV, and Varsity Winter Sports is open. Please see the link below.

Fun fact of the day:  The largest wave ever recorded was in Lituya Bay in Alaska. It reached 1,720 feet in 1958 and was triggered by a massive landslide


Did you know?   Starting in 1990, Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls never had a three-game losing streak for eight years.


On this date in sports:

  • In 1933, the Chicago Bears' 30-game unbeaten streak ended against the Patriots (10-0).
