This is a reminder that there is a yearbook meeting today after school in Mr. Bischoff's room. We need everyone to attend to try to catch back up after the extracurricular shutdown and holiday break. If you have a conflict, please contact your section editor.

This is a quick announcement that the gay straight alliance will be meeting this Friday in room 112 until 4. We hope to see you there

And now over to ____________ with the news

-------------------------

NEWS INTRO

--------------------------

In today's news the new COVID-19 bill has started a 180 countdown for UFO disclosures. President Trump signed a $2.3 Trillion dollar covid 19 bill Sunday which started the countdown for the Pentagon and spy agencies to release everything they know about UFO's. The provision received very little attention since it wasn't included in the text but rather a "committee comment"attached to the annual intelligence authorization act. The Secretary of defence and the heads of other agencies must report in those 180 days. The report must address "observed airborne objects that have not been identified" and should include a "detailed analysis of unidentified phenomena data"

SPORTS INTRO

------------------------

 Winter sports practices are now resuming with many first games this Friday. Athletes should pay special attention to eligibility. With the adapted season and the late start, bad grades can have disastrous outcomes. 

-------------------------

Now back to the main desk

-------------------------

Today marks 9 days remaining in the first half of the school year. For all you procrastinators out there, you are running out of time to catch up on those first semester classes.

----------------------------

Have a great day Ephrata!
