ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
A fresh start, a clean slate, and a lot of potential for great things to come. That is what Tuesdays are for, Eagle Nation! The sun will be shining brightly again today, with temperatures reaching the mid- to upper 60s. It is very dry out there, so please remember to be smart, as a burn ban is currently in place. Let's hope to get some rain soon.
We had a lot of amazing action on the diamond last, so make sure you check out the scores and highlights. We have a home track meet today.
The school year will be over before we know it, as we only have 32 class days left in high school, so make sure you stay on top of everything.
Spring Sports will be over in the blink of an eye, with only 3 weeks left, so get out to catch some games and meets before it's too late.
As we get into the final stretch of the school year, remember there are many events, so keep tuned in, as there are a lot of moving parts.
Congratulations to the Varsity Softball Team as they are the #2-ranked team in Section 2 Class C by the Times Union and number 7th in the State in Class C

Fun fact of the day: Wearing a tie can reduce blood flow to the brain by 7.5 per cent. A 2018 study found that wearing a necktie can reduce the blood flow to your brain by up to 7.5 per cent, which can make you feel dizzy, nauseous, and cause headaches. They can also increase the pressure in your eyes if on too tight and are great at carrying germs.
