Gratitude fuels growth, and every thankful Thursday is another step upward, Eagle Nation! The weather is warming up, but there is still a chance of rain over the next few days, so stay prepared. The school year will be over before we know it, so make sure you stay on top of everything. Spring Sports will be over in the blink of an eye, so get out to catch some games and meets before it's too late. Tomorrow we are in the New Moon phase.
