Students in Spanish classes celebrated "El Día de los Reyes Magos" (Three Kings Day) by eating the traditional "Rosca de Reyes" (king cake), which has a plastic baby figurine inside that represents the baby Jesus. Whoever gets the piece of cake with the baby inside is crowned "king" or "queen" for the day! Students were excited to see who would find the baby!

Richfield Springs-ODY 71 / West Canada 50
@ Richfield Springs
RSO got off to a rocky start falling down 22-11 in the first quarter, but stormed back to within 5 at halftime. The team got great looks in the 3rd quarter but just couldn't finish the possessions with scores. West Canada pulled away in the 4th quarter for good to win 71 to 50. WCV was led by the inside-out combo of B Shepardson and Will Smith who each scored 23 points. RSO got great games from Dylan Hosford (28 points) and Austin Bowman (13 points), but just couldn't find enough points to win it. RSO's next contest is home vs. league foe Laurens.
Richfield Springs will reopen with the same procedures that we have been following all year with masks worn correctly and if having COVID symptoms, stay home and get tested. There is no requirement for COVID testing to return to school on Monday. Happy New Year!
