Your Week 9 Griffin of the Week Award Winners are... Nolan Green and Caden Bullard! These students showed great selfless leadership qualities by staying after the Gretna East and Gretna football game and picking up trash on the visitors' side without being asked or expecting any kind of compensation. This is all on top of being positive leaders in the student section during the game as well! #GoGriffs
