ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
Let Friday remind you to focus on the good things in life, EAGLE NATION! It was a very busy night at the Eagles Nest yesterday as we held a Triple Header of basketball games. Check out the highlights below. The action continues tonight and tomorrow, so make sure to check out the schedules below, also
Old Man Winter is out in full force with the cold, snow, and wind. It looks like a light dusting of snow tomorrow, followed by more frigid temperatures. It feels like February weather already this winter. FYI, Mr. Kirivin is excited that we had a full week of school.
It takes one hive of bees 55,000 miles of flight to produce one pound of honey. That’s the equivalent of traveling around the full length of the equator twice. That’s an incredible amount of flight time to produce such a small amount of honey. In those miles, it takes approximately 2 million flowers for bees to produce that one pound of honey. Fortunately, bees can fly about 15 miles per hour, which allows them to go from flower to flower in a relatively short time.
Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!
