This week was full of fun, but students and staff also took time on Thursday to remember the events of September 11, 2001. They dressed in red, white and blue and at Colden, students created forced-perspective artwork of the twin towers from Ground Zero with the words "Never Forget."

What a great spirit week it has been! The weather has been outstanding, and we are all excited for the annual Homecoming parade, which will leave from Springville High School this evening at 5:30 PM.
We would like to make sure that this is another safe and fun event for our families in attendance. With that, we ask that, once again, adults please keep children on the side of the road during the parade and wait for all vehicles to pass before attempting to pick up any candy from the road. The vehicles and floats are quite large, and drivers may not see children who run out into the roadway. We sincerely appreciate your help in this matter!
Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight! Go Griffins!
