ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

Make this Monday an incredible start to your week. Set your positive energy up for the whole week and be strong, EAGLE NATION! We had a lot of action on the hardwood and mat over the weekend, so please make sure to check out the scores and highlights. We have a lot of action over the next two weeks, so make sure you get out and support our Eagles.

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.

Old Man Winter is here, and he has brought bitter cold with him for the foreseeable future, so be sure to dress warmly. Though New York state counts more than 57,000 agricultural producers, 51% of New York farmers have a primary occupation other than farming to help support and maintain their farm.

Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!

On this date in history:

In 2024, after 13 years of civil war in Syria, Bashar al-Assad was ousted as the country's leader; his attempt to repress the uprising against his rule included brutal tactics, most infamously the use of chemical weapons.
In 2019, American actor and puppeteer Caroll Spinney, who created the characteristics and mannerisms of Big Bird, a larger-than-life puppet he played for nearly 50 years, died at age 85.
In 2016, American astronaut and politician John Glenn, who was the first U.S. astronaut to orbit Earth, for which he was regarded as a national hero, died at age 95.
In 2010, SpaceX became the first commercial company to release a spacecraft, the Dragon capsule, into orbit and successfully return it to Earth.
In 1991, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus signed an agreement to form the Commonwealth of Independent States in the wake of the demise of the Soviet Union.
In 1987, U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev signed a nuclear weapons reduction treaty.
In 1980, British musician John Lennon, who rose to fame with the Beatles and had a successful solo career, was fatally shot by Mark David Chapman in New York City, causing a global outpouring of grief.
In 1978, the American classic film The Deer Hunter, starring Robert De Niro and Christoper Walken, among others, had its world premiere; an emotionally shattering look at the effects of the Vietnam War on the young American men sent to fight in it, the movie later won an Oscar for best picture.
