The girls' tennis team played an incredible match last night against division-leading East Aurora, but fell 3-2.
In first singles play, Evelyn Berry continued her dominance over D4 by winning 6-0, 6-0. Evelyn was impressive throughout the match and left zero doubt on who the best player in the league is.
In second singles action, Natalie Rumfola won
6-2, 6-0. Natalie shook off a slow start and pulled away easily with some steady shot-making and great court awareness.
In first doubles action, Taylor Wells and Peyton Wells lost 2-6, 5-7. This was the match of the night as the sisters battled valiantly, especially in the second set, but fell short. Still, the girls played hard and saw their play improve as the match progressed
In second doubles action, Kailyn Sprague and Chloe Dinse Johnson lost 4-6, 0-6. The girls started off strong but couldn’t keep the momentum going into the second set. Both girls had moments of good play.
In third doubles action, Jackie Thompson and Teerada Dickson lost 0-6, 3-6. The girls fought back in the second set, putting EA on their heels, but couldn’t pull the win out.
In exhibition singles action, Maya Schunk lost 3-6. In exhibition doubles play, Lily Wantuck and Rory Sarver lost 2-6. The tandem of Amileah Muhisin and Gianna Nevins lost 1-6.
Despite the result, the Lady Griffs sit in sole possession of second place and have a lot to be proud of with the hard work they put in to push the visiting Blue Devils. Great job, ladies!

Our middle school FFA held its first-ever meeting this past Thursday. Students spent time learning about the different opportunities FFA has to offer. They then made their own FFA emblem cookies while learning what each part of the emblem means. We are so excited to be able to offer FFA to our middle schoolers and can’t wait to see what great things they do this year!

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."

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!

Congratulations to the Springville Griffins Modified Football team on a huge season-opening win over the Pioneer Panthers! The Griffins may have been outnumbered and outsized, but they were never outmatched. The defense not only held Pioneer to just 12 points, but they also scored 6 of their own! Add in a powerful offensive attack, and the Griffins lit up the scoreboard with 33 points. It was an incredible team effort that proved hard work, consistency, and playing together can make anything possible. Way to go, Griffins!
