Please join us in congratulating one of our own Derek Plichta. He was involved in a state competition for writing an essay for the VFW. Today he was announced as the winner of the State of Michigan Patriot Pen Competition. To honor this accomplishment we ask that if you are able to come there will be a parade held at 3pm on E Main Street. Derek and his family will drive through and we can cheer him on for this awesome accomplishment.
Tonight's JV Basketball games will still take place starting at 6pm. All other practices for tonight are optional and athletes should contact their coaches.

The boys Basketball game scheduled for Wednesday night against Clare is still going to be played tonight! Drive safe and see you all soon! Let's get out there and support our team! GO EAGLES!
From the Athletic Department:
Farwell Bowling and Athletics have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the Farwell, Clare, and JPC community. The amount of businesses and community members that have offered fundraisers and various equipment has not gone unnoticed. Our athletes lost a home at Gateway Lanes that they will never forget. This being said, we will not be accepting anymore donations. We believe that we have raised enough to offset the increased travel costs and are extremely grateful. Our athletes were lucky enough to not lose any equipment in the fire and we do not want to accept more than what we have lost.
Thank you to everyone again for their generosity and as always "Go Eagles"!
Congratulations to the December Students of the Month!
