SGI Lady Griffs dropped a tough game last night to Holland by a score of 37-25. The girls just couldn’t seem to get into the rhythm on the evening and struggled to score the ball. The girls also took far too many fouls, which led to three girls fouling out on the night. The team will look to bounce back on Thursday night when they play host to Cleveland Hill.

Seventh-grade students in Mrs. Deutschman's French class learned about Crepe Day on February 2nd. In France, that day is traditionally celebrated by eating crepes. Legend says that you need to hold a coin in one hand and attempt to flip the crepe with the other. If you successfully flip the crepe, you will have good luck the rest of the year! Students used a paper crepe and gave the crepe-flip their best shots!

BFLO Worm Works visited SES 5th Graders to give them a hands-on experience about decomposition and the role worms play in this process. This experiential learning experience supported their ELA learning, as they are taking a deep dive into the unit "Beauty of Rot," which focuses on how decomposition benefits our world. In the spring, we will use the compost bin they created to build a garden outside the 5th-grade wing #RedefiningRural #ExperientialLearning

The varsity girls basketball team continued its winning ways on Friday afternoon as they pulled out a thrilling 33-30 win over the East Aurora Blue Devils. The girls started hot as they opened the game, going up 11-0. That run saw two three-pointers from Dani Oakley and Lilly Enser. The second quarter was a different story, as the girls were held to 2 points scored and entered the locker room up 17-16. The team played a strong third quarter, led by great rebounding from Aubrey Roy and strong play from Leah Franklin. As the girls progressed through the 4th quarter, the team's lead grew to 8 points with about 3 minutes to play. East Aurora made a strong run in a 2-minute span as they eventually tied the Lady Griffs with 11 seconds remaining. That was plenty of time for SGI as Dani Oakley took the ball from halfcourt, drove strong to the left side of the basket, and finished a lay-up with just seconds remaining. The girls got the defensive stop they needed, hit one of two free throws, and sealed the win with an Aubrey Roy rebound. Not to be forgotten were the four huge three-pointers out of Lilly Enser, which kept the Lady Griffs in control for most of the game. Scorers in the game were:
The girls are now 10-2 on the season and travel to Holland this afternoon in a battle for first place in D4.

The varsity girls' basketball team pulled out a tough 45-34 victory over JFK last night. The girls were in complete control in the first half as they took a 17-point lead into the locker room. Unfortunately, JFK went on a huge run, and the Griffs saw their lead go from 17 points down to 1 point. The team displayed their toughness and resilience as they put the clamps on defensively and hit some timely shots. Dani Oakley hit two HUGE three pointers to give the girls a 7-point lead going into the 4th quarter. The lead would drop to 3 points, but that was as close as JFK would get. Bella Sullivan hit a runner, Kelcie Illig attacked the paint and finished, Aubrey Roy had a strong post move and was fouled, and Leah Franklin had a big offensive rebound and out back. Scorers on the night were: Dani Oakley- 13 points Bella Sullivan- 12 points Kelcie Illig- 6 points Aubrey Roy- 6 points Leah Franklin- 6 points Brooks Ruzycki- 2 points
The girls are now 9-2 overall and have a perfect 8-0 record in league play.
The girls’ next game is at East Aurora tomorrow afternoon at 3 pm. Please sign up for the spectator bus to cheer on this great group!
