A new hang out place called Eagle’s Net Café has arrived at RCHS. It is a chance for seniors to relax during second and third period and enjoy coffee, sweet rolls, and the other items that will be available. Another perk is that the Eagle’s Net Cafe is held in the room with the best Wi-Fi in the school, the freshman academy workroom, so students can also surf the web during this free time.

Last night, Rhea County received a present. For the first time this winter, it snowed. Late Friday night, flurries started to fall from the sky and accumalated at least two inches on elevated surfaces. On Saturday morning, the two-inch snow was still there and was still slightly falling. However, this miraculous snow will not last for very long. Tonight the temperature is said to be 23-27° F, and may last the night. Tomorrow’s weather, however, having a high of 52°, will melt the snow and will abandon the idea of getting out of school on Monday.

As you walk through the RCHS library and see all of those books what do you think? How about, “I would like to read one those but don’t know where to look or start”?
