The Eagle Valley High School Close-Up students raised approximately $76 at a fundraiser held during Snow Daze week to help pay for their trip to Washington D.C. The announcement was made, “bring in the pig”. Pictured, Rhonda Brekke was holding a live pig and she called down Mr. Roers to the front stage of the gym. He was the lucky teacher who was chosen to “Kiss the Pig.” The eight Close-Up students are going to Washington D.C. from March 25 through April 1.

A trip to Osakis on Tuesday did not go well for the Rebels. They did not do a very good job of controlling the ball, dug a hole early and worked to get into some kind of flow. The Rebels made several strong moves on the opposing team but the Silverstreaks hit some big baskets to make it very difficult.
