The Junior Varsity Football meeting is next Thursday, 1/29/26 in the Crane Library at 6:00. Sorry for any confusion.

Because of the impending weather our Lady Pirates will now play on Friday, 1/23/26, instead of Saturday. Our game will be at 4:30 at Marionville High School.

In his Ag I class today, Mr. Hensley enthralled his students with a hands on learning opportunity. They have been learning about various livestock body systems. He was able to bring in cow lungs, pig lungs, and an entire pig digestive tract. The students "stomached" it surprisingly well and were fascinated by the experience.

We have decided not to send our TRCC students to VoTech today. Your student may have already contacted you. Those who don't drive or have rides will work in the library this morning. Thank you, Mrs. Mease

Our Lady Pirates lost to Marionville tonight. They will play for 5th place this weekend.

It was a good night for the Pirates in Blue Eye! Our JV boys won 27-18, and our Varsity boys won 37-27
