The final step in the Youth Voices, Holiday Choices initiative was recently completed by student and staff volunteers. The winning designs to deter driving under the influence were made into stickers and stuck to paper bags that will be used at Cheap Chollies Wine and Liquor in conjunction with National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. The initiative, which was led by SADD and Above the Influence, resulted in compelling anti-DWI designs that were assessed by a judging panel of community leaders.

The varsity girls basketball team dropped a non-league game to 4th-ranked Wilson by a score of 41-28. The girls showed some incredible defensive play, but couldn’t string enough offense to keep up with the Lakewomen.
Early on, the girls were down 15-7, but they turned it around before halftime and were down 16-14 entering the locker room. Unfortunately, too much foul trouble plagued the Lady Griff’s, which hindered their offensive attack.
Next up, the girls host Eden in a big-time showdown in Division 4.

The varsity girls basketball team played Tonawanda on Friday night, in a league contest, and won 51-16. The girls set the tone from the start with some incredible defense. Dani Oakley led the charge defensively as she held Tonawanda's best player to 0 points on the evening. From there, the Lady Griffs executed their offense at a high level, playing with great unselfishness. Scorers on the night were:
Aubrey Roy- 20 points
Dani Oakley- 16 points
Kelcie Illig- 6 points
Lilly Enser- 3 points
Bella Sullivan- 3 points
Caroline Blidy- 1 point

The overall defense from the group was the story of the evening. Leah Franklin didn’t give an inch on her assignment, Bella Sullivan made strong plays on the ball, Brooke Ruzycki did a nice job with help defense, Kelcie Illig was a force when guarding the ball, Caroline Blidy hustled all over the court, and Lilly Enser made big-time hustle plays on the evening.

Youth Voices Holiday Choices - See the Art

High School student representatives recently spoke at class meetings about Agency in our schools. They shared questions about student voice in the classroom and what kind of environment they experience on a day-to-day basis, and the classes were able to answer using Kahoot. Agency is one of the five pillars in the district's strategic plan, and this is one way we are continuing to work toward Agency through student voice. Photos are provided by Mrs. Rosenswie and student photographers Nate Ridder, Riley Quinn, and Daniella Oakley.

Last week, Corinne McAndrew competed in the 500 freestyle at States at the Webster Aquatic Facility after winning the 500 free at Sectionals — an incredible achievement for her first appearance at the state meet!

While she didn’t make it back to finals this time, her journey this season has been truly inspiring. Coming back from a season-long injury, Corinne showed determination, resilience, and heart — qualities that make any coach proud.

Corinne also holds the school records in the 200 & 500 free, a testament to her talent and dedication in the pool. She trains year-round, sets ambitious goals for herself, and we wholeheartedly cheer her on as she works toward her dreams for the next varsity season.

We’re so proud of you, Corinne! Keep pushing, keep believing, and keep making waves.

The SGI High School Seconds Club met to show their appreciation for our recent alumni. The theme for the gathering was kindness. Historic hymns were led by Ralph Mueller, who was invited as a guest speaker on the topic. The students created 60 notes and packages for our alumni to let them know they are not forgotten. The alumni who were chosen are former Seconds Club members who attended baccalaureate and maintain a connection with SGI. Current students, staff, parents, churches, community members, and local businesses, including Concord Crest Golf Course, Realtor Kathy Komenda from Howard Hanna, and Holland Propane, helped support and provide gifts and tokens of kindness that were packed into this year's mailings. Seconds Club students are grateful for the support and the opportunity to feel a sense of belonging in their school and community. Photos are by student photographer Lylah Heferle.

Please join us in congratulating the National Honor Society's newest members, who were celebrated at the induction ceremony on Thursday. These students have demonstrated exceptional scholarship, leadership, character, and service. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and the example they set for our school community.
During the ceremony, Mrs. Stephanie Bacon, Executive Director of SYI, offered inspiring words of wisdom to our inductees. She encouraged them to never stop learning, to stay curious, and to remain open to perspectives different from their own. She reminded students that the four pillars of the National Honor Society serve not only as the foundation of NHS, but also as a guide for living a thoughtful and purposeful life.
Mr. Eric Holler was recognized as the National Honor Society’s Teacher of the Year. Mr. Holler was celebrated for providing meaningful, real-world learning experiences and for helping students discover their passions. Students shared that he brings passion, purpose, and excellence to everything he does—qualities that enrich our school every day. Congratulations!

The SGI Varsity Swim Team recently took time during practice to invite girls interested in joining our team next season!

Led by Kiersten Crone, who created personal invitations for each potential new teammate, this initiative was all about agency, inclusion, and belonging. By empowering current athletes to reach out and welcome others, our swimmers are taking ownership of their team culture and creating a space where everyone feels valued and connected.

This experience wasn’t just about swimming — it was about experiential learning in action. The girls learned what it means to lead, mentor, and create opportunities for others to succeed — skills that extend far beyond the pool. We’re so proud of our team for modeling what it truly means to be a Lady Griff!
