Football All-State honors! The East Rochester/Gananda Football team had two outstanding student-athletes selected for All-State football honors. Jayden Castrechini has been selected 1st Team All-State and Will Powell received 3rd Team All-State honors. These two well-deserving players have helped carry the ER/G football team to 4 straight league titles ('15, '16, '17, & '18), including 3 sectional finals appearances. The entire team and coaching staff are proud of Jayden and Will for their commitment to the ER/G program and stellar performance on the field. | JV/Varsity Spring Sports Sign-UpSpring sports sign-ups start February 4th. If you are interested in playing baseball, softball, lacrosse, golf or doing track, please have your parent/guardian login to their FamilyID account to sign up: https://www.familyid.com/organizations/gananda-central-school-district-athletics Please note that you have to have a current physical exam (within 1 year) to be eligible to participate. If you have any questions, please contact the Health Office. | Open Door Mission Care Kits - Donations Needed!Winter is rough for everyone, but especially those without a home to turn to. There are many people here in Rochester that don't have a warm place to turn to all winter. We could make a difference for them with the simplest things: a pair of gloves, a scarf, or even a blanket. These things would provide them with warmth this winter. But most importantly, it would let them know that someone cares. Our plan as Rachel's Challenge Club is to collect donations to bring to Open Door Mission. From there, Chris Scribani and his team will transport our donations to ¨Tent City¨ and distribute them to those who need it. If you want to help, please bring any of the items below to the Main Office at the High School. Requested Items for Donations: |
