The boys Varsity Soccer Team played Cheektowaga on Monday night and we're able to secure a 6 to nothing win.  Scoring on the night was Bryce Cook with a Hat-trick, Will Prinino with a brace, and Ryan Miga with a free-kick goal.  Garrison Heichberger, Hunter Swanson, and the committee of defenders that had to partake last night did an excellent job to help secure a clean sheet with Remi and Ben taking split time in goal.

In third doubles action, Alexis Beckwith and Maya Schunk lost 0-6, 3-6. It was the first time both girls played as a team, and they found their rhythm in the second set, taking 3 games and putting pressure on their opponents.

From seeds to salsa - students in Mr. Vogel's and Mrs. Sacilowski's class are enjoying the fruits of their labor! Last spring, the class received a grant from the Springville Griffith Community Education Foundation to make their annual Urban Garden Project even bigger and better. With the funds, they were able to buy more seeds, soil, heat lamps and equipment to grow a wide range of flowers, herbs, and vegetables. The students planted everything and cared for them until summer, then everything made its way to the Erie County Fair. Now, the garden is back at SGI, and the students are reaping the benefits of what they planted. Last week, students made salsa out of the veggies and herbs they grew from seeds!

SGI Community,

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!
