To The Eagle: I would like to take a minute to express my sincerest thank you to the students and members of this community for making the 2015 PTO Talent Show a huge success!

OFF AND ON--The first day of Spring saw the skies "springing a leak" after several wonderfully warm days. The weekend started out with pounding rains which made the TV signal go out at times, so it was not a nice start to the day. However, it did wind up improving as the day went by. It was back to the wind and rain on Sunday morning, but once again, it turned out decent so folks were still out in their flower beds and staying busy. I hear we'll be basking in a couple of full days of sunshine by the time you read this, so let's hope the...
