ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Start your Friday with a positive attitude.  Believe the day is going to be great because it will be, EAGLE NATION!  A farm is more than land and crops.  It is a family's heritage and future.  Less than 2% of our population are farmers and ranchers. Looks like rain and some snow flurries are in the forecast for the weekend.  Make sure to bundle up in the evenings.

Come out tomorrow night to support the Varsity Volleyball team as they take on rival Fonda-Fultonville in the Section 2 Class C Finals at Saratoga High School at 3:00 p.m.

Come out tomorrow to support our cross country runners as they compete in Sectionals at Queensbury.  The following athletes will be running for the boys team: Tyler Bombard, Jacob Bruchac, Jude Comensky, Grayson Eagan, Nathanial McDevitt, Gabe Mele, Logan Miner, Evan Morris, Brody Paterek, and Brayden Sheft.   Amelia Jordan and Ailey Nelson will be running for the girls on Saturday.
  • Girls Class D Race - 1:00 p.m.
  • Boys Class D Race - 2:00 p.m.

You'll need an entrance ticket for both events, so be sure to grab one early. Link is below.

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!
