#Unity Across the entire country, we celebrate music in our schools during the month of March. This year has definitely been a challenging one for students and teachers! We have had to make many changes and adjustments to our music classes, yet we were still able to enjoy the benefits of music within our schools. We are #GanandaProud of the wonderful music our students have been working on, and wanted to share some of their work. Visit our own special webpage dedicated to "Gananda Music In Our Schools" to see our outstanding musicians! | #Outstanding Our ER-G Bomber Football Team honored the seniors on the team last week during the ER-G vs. Marcus Whitman/Bloomfield game. Congratulations to Jerry Brongo, Hector Lopez, Cypress Coleman, Foster Pero, Joey Burgio, and Sean Dermody. We are #Ganandaproud of you! | #Unity History was made at last week's ER-G Football game. Our Gananda cheerleaders joined the East Rochester cheerleaders to cheer on the combined football team. This was the first time that a Gananda Cheer Team cheered for football! |
