After students and teachers completed their last finals, the first semester of the 2013-’14 officially concluded, Dec. 13. The school will now take a three-week Christmas vacation, returning to classes, Jan. 6.

The Feather staff will also break for Christmas and will no longer publish any new material until school resumes again for the spring semester.

Despite the low amount of coverage the staff will cover, a few events will still unfold over the holidays. The winter sporting teams will continue their preseason play throughout the three weeks.

Both the boys and girls soccer teams will travel to compete in the annual Garces Holiday Soccer Festival, Dec. 20-21. Both teams are competing under the Bronze Division against a variety of non-league teams.

The boys basketball team will also compete during the holiday. The Eagles will play in the Dinuba Holiday Tournament, Dec. 18-21.
