ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Fridays are a reminder that even the longest week has an end and a new beginning, EAGLE NATION! Sports team photo envelopes have been distributed to all athletes; please ensure you obtain one from your athlete. Sports pictures are on December 10th. The envelopes need to be handed in at pictures, and all athletes need to be in uniform.
Wrestling opened its season last night. Check out the highlights below.
Did you know that pigs can run a seven-minute mile? If you’ve ever been stuck in a pen with an angry sow, you know it’s best to get out of the way. But did you know that the average human runner can cover one mile in seven to 10 minutes? On the flip side, pigs can run a mile in seven minutes. That means your odds of winning a race against a pig may be slimmer than you thought. Old Man Winter has arrived, bringing cold with him, so be sure to dress warmly.
Team stores close on Monday!!!! Make sure to order your team sports wear ASAP before the stores close.
Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!
