Get Ready WGHS Holiday Countdown Til Winter Break

🎄💚 The Grinch Strikes at WGES! 💚🎄
The Grinch made an unexpected visit to Watkins Glen Elementary today… and let’s just say he brought plenty of holiday mischief with him! He snuck through classrooms, “borrowed” a few teachers’ belongings, and hid them away in one of our offices.
To top it off, he even tried to make off with a police car — but our amazing SRO, Officer Schutt, was on the scene in seconds and quickly apprehended our green troublemaker! 🚔💚
All stolen items were safely returned, smiles were restored, and WGES is once again calm, joyful, and ready for the holiday season.
Thanks to Officer Schutt for saving the day and to our staff and students for embracing the fun! 🎉💚

Congratulations to Storm WG 8th-grade swimmer, Makenzie Fish, for earning the last fall sports season spot for ESPN Ithaca Athlete of the Week!
Makenzie earned her ticket to the NYSPHSAA State Swimming Championships last weekend with her state-qualifying times in the 100 backstroke during the IAC Class C Championships held in October, and then with her 1st-place finish at the Section IV Class C Championship Finals in the 200 IM.
Makenzie had great swims at the State Championship, placing 35th in the 200 IM prelims—just shy of the top 30 to compete in the Saturday Finals. However, she did claim a spot in the Finals with her 100 backstroke and placed 22nd amongst all classes, including the Federation schools, with a new PR and Storm backstroke record!
Listen to Makenzie’s podcast with Nick Karski from ESPN Ithaca.
