This months Regal Eagle award goes to Mike and Donna Collier. They are by far some of the finest examples of Eagles in the village. When they aren’t spending time with motorcycles or family, they are spending it supporting their village and my favorite school. These Eagles can be found at nearly every home event or occasionally finding some food up at the cafe. Thank you Mike and Donna for being everything you are! Remember to email your nominations to regaleagle@odinpublicschools.org
