Important Outreach Opportunity! Support our friends in Conway, South Carolina

September 28, 2018
By Eagle Weekly
This past week our friends in Conway, SC have endured the worst flooding in the city’s history as a result from Hurricane Florence. Homes have been ruined, lives have been changed forever and recovery is going to be a challenge. 
 
One of our high school seniors, Jacob Bowman, came up with the idea for our city to help their city. After a meeting with our city leaders (the mayor, chamber of commerce, other schools and the local hospitals) a cause was formed. It’s called Conway Helping Conway. It’s the opportunity for all of us in Conway, AR to donate and help those in need in Conway, SC. There are two ways you can participate. 
 
First, go to the Facebook page Conway Helping Conway and make a donation to the Go Fund Me page that has been created. Second, we are asking our students to participate in a coin drive next week. The money raised on the Go Fund Me page will go directly to a civic organization in Conway, SC. The coins donated will go to Conway Christian School in South Carolina. 
 
Yes, this town is just like us! They have a sister Christian school, a Conway Regional hospital, a local Conway Chamber of Commerce and so on! So, don’t wait! Go donate to the cause and gather your change for next week’s coin drive.
 
Coin collections:
Monday - Pennies
Tuesday - Nickels
Wednesday - Dimes
Thursday - Quarters
Friday - Dollars

Important Information Regarding Today’s Game and Activities

September 21, 2018
By Eagle Weekly
The school leadership team has been actively studying today’s weather forecast over the last 48 hours. As you know, there is a lot of uncertainty in the forecast during the afternoon and into the evening hours. As the evening progresses, and into the early nighttime hours, the chances of rain will significantly increase. Due to this information, we have made the following decisions:
 
Tailgate: The event will proceed as planned. There is no plan B, so we’ll have to make decisions (like taking down tailgates) if the weather becomes a major issue. We cannot go into the commons or gym because of previously planned game day activities.
 
Elementary Cheer: Based on the weather forecast we have moved the cheer performance from halftime to a pre-game activity. The students need to be in the stadium no later than 6:25 and are scheduled to perform around 6:40. Cheer performers will gather on the home sideline which can be accessed through the south end zone. Gates will open at 6:00 to purchase tickets. 
 
Game: The football game will go on as planned. In the case of inclement weather (lightning) fans will be allowed to gather in the Upper School Commons. If this scenario happens the public address announcer will give guidance on how and when to proceed.
