It was an exciting afternoon last week when the 1st graders learned about all the good things worms do for the soil and got to hold some of the little wrigglers too!  See a Photo Gallery of the wiggly fun!

The 2nd graders spent an afternoon making bubbles -- lots of tiny bubbles that blow away and some really big bubbles that they could stand inside of!  See the Video of them learning about the fun science of bubbles.

Parents of seniors, please save the date of Wednesday, Oct. 3 for a special College Night presentation at 6:00pm in the Dragon Room.  Learn all about the college admission process, news from the NACAC conference, and the SGS college counseling services designed to help your senior find and gain admission to the right college or university for them.  Parents of 11th graders also are welcome to attend. 

Senior Ethan Hunter has earned a Letter of Commendation for his high score on the PSAT test from the National Merit Scholarship Corp.  Ethan was among the top 50,000 seniors nationwide (out of 1.6 million) who took the PSAT.  Congratulations!

The Middle School English classes spent time on Sept. 7 brainstorming ideas of things they would like to do some day.  Then they put them on 2400 post-it notes all over a hallway for everyone to see!  See a Photo Gallery of their creative ideas, which will be refined for future class projects.
