The third annual Austin Eagle Bowl is set for Friday January 11th from 1:00-2:00 PM (postponed from previous date). The Austin Eagle Bowl flag football tournament features 24 teams from 4th and 5th grade. This cross-curricular, school wide event combines elements from Art, Music, Physical Education, and STEM.
