A Huge Dub-G Shout and Congratulations to WGHS Junior, Wendy Coleman! Article from the Historical Society of the New York Courts: Yesterday, Chief Judge Rowan D. Wilson announced the winners of the 2025 Law Day Art Contest, co-sponsored by the Society and the Office for Justice Initiatives. One hundred students entered the competition from every corner of the state, making it very difficult to select three winners. We congratulate Elise Kwon (9th JD), Wendy Coleman (6th JD), and Zoe Allen (3rd JD) for their remarkable art that portrayed what this year’s ABA Law Day theme The Constitution’s Promise: Out of Many, One means to them. A message from WGHS Art Teacher, Dawn Coleman : I am thrilled to announce that Watkins Glen’s Wendy Coleman was selected as the first-place winner for the Law Day art contest in our Sixth Judicial District (comprised of 10 counties in the Southern Tier). Her first-place winner is automatically entered in the state-wide competition. Here is the link for the 2nd place state-wide win from Watkins Glen. https://history.nycourts.gov/2025-law-day-art-contest-winners/ #WGProud #schuylercounty #watkinsglen #unitedwestand
