Mrs. Coughlin's middle school health classes recently explored nutrition through cooking! Each grade level competed in a Chef's Challenge. The 8th graders made Athlete's Meals, the 7th graders made breakfast dishes, and the 6th graders made smoothies. This was a great hands-on learning experience for students learning about health and nutrition.
Please join us in congratulating SGI Varsity Football player Gavin Strainer #44, who was awarded the Cross Training Athletics Heart of a Champion Award for his efforts during Thursday's game against Tonawanda.

The Varsity SGI football team celebrated Senior Night on Thursday with an impressive shutout 49-0 vs Tonawanda, making their record 6-1 so far this season. Next week, they travel to Alden on Thursday, 10/22, for their last game of the regular season at 7 pm.
This week, our schools celebrated #BigAppleCrunch Day! The Big Apple Crunch takes place in October of each year, inviting everyone to take a bite out of a New York-grown apple to celebrate the apple harvest and inspire us to eat local! Springville and Colden Elementary students love taking a big bite out of their apples served at lunch by SGI Culinary!
High school students recently attended the Careers in Education Conference. The students heard a keynote speaker discuss teachers' impact on the next generation. They then were able to choose information sessions that interested them, such as certifications and pathways, elementary literacy, portrait of a graduate work, AI in education, and more. This was a great experience for students interested in becoming teachers to learn more about the field of education!
It's Fire Prevention Week at SGI! Students at Springville Elementary enjoyed a visit from our local firefighters to learn about fire safety. Mrs. Hamm's class handed out thank-you notes to the firefighters!

SGI seventh graders recently visited Old Fort Niagara, where they listened to re-enactors talk about life at the Fort in the 1600s and 1700s. They learned about the roles the French, British, and Native Americans played there.
Springville Modified Football Shuts Out Cleveland Hill, Improves to 6-0
Springville Modified Football continued its undefeated season Wednesday night with a convincing 33-0 victory over previously undefeated Cleveland Hill at Pop Warner Field, improving the Griffs' record to 6-0.
The Griffs played as one from start to finish, delivering an outstanding performance on both sides of the ball. Defensively, Springville showcased textbook tackling, with all 11 players pursuing the ball, maintaining gap responsibility, and executing their assignments. Timely interceptions and key pass breakups by the secondary helped secure the shutout.
The offense was equally impressive, with strong blocking at the line of scrimmage and sustained effort downfield. The Griffs finished the night with more than 300 yards of offense, demonstrating the importance of teamwork and execution.
Springville will travel to Lake Shore next Wednesday for its final game of the season, with kickoff scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
Go Griffs!

SGI art and science students participated in post-homecoming activities by cleaning up the remnants of the festivities. For Mrs. Hashem's science class, the cleanup was the perfect bridge from their unit on the interactions between Earth's systems and their unit on Earth's surface processes. They discussed the Cattaraugus Creek watershed and followed Spring Brook to Cattaraugus Creek, all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Students kept track of the types of trash they collected and tallied individual pieces. The data will be added to the citizen science app "Clean Swell" through the Ocean Conservancy. Students will then spend lab time analyzing the data, creating graphs of what was found, exploring other citizen science initiatives, and brainstorming ways to make these types of events more sustainable in the future.

The varsity girls tennis team competed in their season last night with a tough 4-1 loss to EA.
In first singles action, Evelyn Berry dominated from start to finish, winning 6-0, 6-1. Evelyn cemented her spot as the best player in D4 and gave the Griffs an early lead.
In the second singles play, Natalie Rumfola lost a tough 6-1, 3-6, 5-7 match. Natalie once again never quit and made some terrific shots on the evening. The result doesn’t change a great senior campaign from one of the most consistent players the program has had.
In first doubles action, Taylor Wells and Peyton Wells lost 1-6, 6-7. The girls showed great toughness by battling back to make the match close. It was a terrific season for the sisters as they showed great progress over the course of the season.
In second doubles play, Jackie Thompson and Kailyn Sprague lost 3-6, 0-6. The girls had some strong play along the way, but couldn’t quite string together enough consistent shots. Still, the duo played well together on the season and showed steady growth.
In third doubles action, Jay Dean and Lexy Beckwith lost 1-6, 0-6. The duo showed great grit and hustle on the evening while displaying solid shot-making.
In exhibition action, Teerada Dickson and Chloe Dinse Johnson lost 2-4. Lilly Wantuck and Maya Schunk lost 2-4. Rory Sarver and Claire Holmer lost 3-4. And Siiri Salo with Jay Dean lost 2-4.
Despite the season's ending result, the team had a terrific season. Finishing 10-6 overall, 6-2 in league, sole possession of second place in D4, the team placed three players on the all-league team, and Evelyn Berry is still competing in sectionals. The program would like to thank seniors Chloe Dinse Johnson, Taylor Wells, Natalie Rumfola, Teerada Dickson, Siiri Salo, Jackie Thompson and Alexis Beckwith for everything they’ve done for the SGI girls' tennis program. You will be missed!

Last week, Springville-Griffith High School hosted the WNY College Consortium for juniors and seniors. They had the opportunity to explore many higher education options!
The varsity girls' tennis team had four members compete in the prestigious ECIC Tournament on Friday and Saturday.
First up were Taylor Wells and Peyton Wells as they took on Williamsville East. The sisters battled valiantly but couldn’t quite pull off the win, losing 1-6, 0-6. Still, it was a competitive match, and the girls gave a great effort. Speaking of the sisters, they were named to the first team in D4 for doubles. Great job, ladies!
In singles play, Natalie Rumfola took on Lancaster, and she won a great match: 6-1, 6-3.
It was a fantastic effort as Rumfola played one of the best matches of her career. The win marked her first ever at ECIC’s and moved her on into the next round.
Awaiting Natalie was the one seed in the tourney and a high-level player from Clarence. Natalie lost 0-6, 0-6, but she never quit and kept her head held high. Despite playing the best player in the tourney (and inevitable winner of the event), Natalie never lost her composure and represented herself well on the courts.
The final member of SGI, Evelyn Berry, opened up her tournament by defeating Maryvale
6-0, 6-0. Berry was a beast from the baseline and was terrific from the service line.
In the next matchup, Evelyn needed a win to clinch a spot for Saturday's matches. Evelyn did just that as she defeated Hamburg by a score of 6-1, 7-5. Berry fought back being down 4-5 in the second set and never looked back. It was a great win and showed terrific poise from the sophomore superstar.
For her third match on the day, Evelyn went up against Sweet Home. They played earlier in the season to a very competitive match, and another one took place on this night. Evelyn lost 3-6, 3-6, but the matchup lived up to the hype as both players traded strong baseline strokes and had many great points.
Despite the result, Evelyn advanced to Saturday to play two matches; one win would ensure a spot in the sectional tournament. In her first matchup, Evelyn played Williamsville East and won 6-2, 6-1. Evelyn was on fire throughout the contest as she moved well around the court and hit some big-time forehands to get the win.
Next up was a date against the top player from Lancaster. Berry lost 1-6, 0-6, but still put together a great two-day stretch of tennis.
With Saturday’s result, Evelyn finished in 6th place overall (out of 32 participants) and finished one spot higher compared to last year's result. She was also named first team D4 for singles.
Evelyn will take on the top player from LewPort this Friday at Miller Tennis Center.
Lastly, the girls still have unfinished business as they play host to East Aurora today to get a share of the D4 title. We should start around 4:45 pm, so come out and support this great team!
