ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS
HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO, Eagle Nation! How perfect it is that it falls on a Tuesday! It turned out to be a beautiful evening for events. Make sure to check out the highlights below.
The school year will be over before we know it, as we only have 27 class days left in high school, so make sure you stay on top of everything, so you pass all your classes and don't have to attend summer school.
Spring Sports will be over in the blink of an eye, with only a few games/meets left, so get out to catch some games and meets before it's too late. Varsity and JV sports regular season wrap up around the 16th, with modified teams finishing the following week.
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.
Come out to cheer on the Varsity Softball team as they travel to BKW to take on the #8-ranked team in the state.

Fun fact of the day: Earth’s poles are moving. This magnetic reversal of the North and South Poles has happened 171 times in the past 71 million years. We’re overdue for a flip. It could come soon, as the North Pole is moving at around 55 kilometres per year, an increase over the 15km per year up until 1990.
Did you know? The Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins all share the same color uniforms. It is the only city where the major sports teams all share the same flair, black and gold.
