Powder Puff Football

Every year, SGO runs a powder puff football event where sophomore, junior, and senior girls compete against each other in a

game of touch football. It’s a great competition that

even includes male cheerleaders…

What’s next on the agenda?

Washington Project!

Over the past 20 years, C.B. West has made a very personal relationship with

the underprivileged students from George

Washington Elementary School. We raise money,

collect gifts, and buy clothes for their holiday

season.

C.B. West gets the chance to make a difference to these

children and make their holiday season a brighter

one…

Last year C.B. West’s hard work raised about $10,000

alone!

We spend a day at their school and even have a

little basketball competition…

The Winter Dance

In February, SGO takes the time to put together a semi-

formal dance for all to attend!

So much to choose from….there’s

something for everyone!Come join SGO,

applications available in Ms. Besack’s room,
