Old Man Winter surprised us with unexpected snow yesterday evening. Be prepared for the weekend, as Arctic Cold moves in, and we will be in the double-digit negatives, followed by large amounts of snow Sunday and Monday, so get those shovels and snowblowers ready. Fingers crossed that Superintendent Miller grants us a snow day on Monday. Think Spring!
Cows have individual personalities like humans; every cow is unique and possesses different personality traits. Common personality traits studied in cows are boldness, exploration, and sociability. Some cows may be risk-takers, curious about exploring their environment, and highly sociable, whereas others may be less brave, more shy.
 Remember, keep it classy, Eagle Nation!

Randall Syracuse Ticket Raffle
Eagle Nation, we are looking for your help!!!! Tragedy struck an athlete's family in our league, and we are helping the Canajoharie Booster Club sell raffle tickets to a Syracuse Men's Basketball game through our Booster Club.
One of the Canajoharie players, Senior Dillan Randall, tragically lost his step-mother, Braylynn Fahy, in a car accident on December 1st. Dillan is the same player whose father was killed last January in a tragic accident while repairing his mailbox. Dillan and his two younger brothers, who attend Fort Plain, have suffered unimaginable loss in less than a year, losing both their father and mother/stepmother. To show our support, we are joining forces to raffle off four tickets and a parking pass to the Syracuse versus North Carolina men's basketball game on February 21st (flyer attached) that were graciously donated by Empower Federal Credit Union! Tickets are $5 each and will be available for purchase at all home games or by reaching out to Coach Glenn (mglenn@galwaycsd.org). The winner will be drawn on February 13th at halftime of the Galway Varsity Boys at the Canajoharie Basketball Game. The winner does not need to be present to claim the tickets! All proceeds from the raffle will be donated directly to the family.
