Special Games brought fanfare, pride, and achievement! Students, staff, and mascots participated in a variety of games outside today followed by lunch and a movie. Congratulations athletes. We are so proud of you!

The Senior Class Board presented the 2024 Griffin Senior Standouts. This recognition is an annual tradition where these students will be honored tonight with a scholarship at the LWE Scholarship Night and then featured on the Griffin Senior Standout mural located in the Griffin's Lair. The Griffin Senior Standout is an interactive mural featuring four graduating seniors nominated by their class who are making extraordinary contributions to their school or community. When visiting the mural in the Griffin's Lair, you can click on a QR code that will take you to a video highlighting each senior standout. Today, we will introduce the Senior Class Board who describes this year's senior standouts and why they were nominated by their senior class. Throughout this week, the videos of each senior standout will be profiled. https://youtu.be/WGUJRkY01tQ?si=_cyOfsAfXQW4E730

It is the senior's last week of rotations at Franciscan Health Hospital!

Intro to Criminology students take on roles as lawyers, witnesses, and jury members in mock trials. Currently they are on their last trial – Lucy Durham. Special guests aka our faculty perform as witnesses to the crime.

LWE Interact visited Navarro Farms this past weekend to do some volunteer work which included shucking corn, sweeping and setting up for an event, and of course some adventures with goats.

The Students for HOPE had a successful blood drive. A total of 34 donors registered for the event. In all, 25 units were successfully collected. This means the event could potentially save 75 lives as each unit can be used to help 3 people. A BIG THANK YOU to all the donors!

Today we had a wonderful Senior Sendoff for our Special Service Life and Pathways students that are graduating. Once a Griffin, always a Griffin!
