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

Best of luck to our Drone Soccer Team this weekend as they head off to National Championships Tournament in Rome, NY!! Our team is one of the youngest teams playing in the National Championships! This is quite an amazing feat being our first year as a New Club! The team is mostly 6th grade students, with one eighth grader and one junior, these kids have had an outstanding ranking all through their winter season. Here is a message from the Drone Soccer Coach ~Mrs. Trish Ervay The Watkins Glen Drone Soccer team is flying high! This weekend (May 2–3), they’ll compete in the U.S. Drone Soccer 2025 National Championship at the SkyDome, Griffiss International Airport in Rome, NY — a prestigious event featuring the top 24 teams from across the nation. In just their first year, our team launched in September, battled through double-elimination tournaments from October through February, earned entry into US Drone Soccer Division II Championship in March which led to a wild card entry to Nationals — now they're headed to the big stage! The stakes are sky-high: the winning team will be crowned Team USA and go on to represent the country at the FAI World Drone Soccer Championship in Shanghai, China this November. Competition kicks off at 2 PM on May 2 and wraps up with an awards ceremony at 4 PM on May 3. Can’t be there in person? Catch all the action live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDkBkVfW8LA

PE & ACE Health Teacher, Courtney Foss and her Wellness Club partnered up with the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center promoting the Tobacco-Free Initiative. The Club is directing their efforts towards reducing tobacco consumption. Their partnership has brought together a leading cancer research institution and the local school to make a lasting impact on both public health and the environment. The Wellness Club, yesterday for Earth Day, incorporated a public health project of cleaning up discarded cigarette butts that will get analyzed by the center to gain insight into the prevalence of tobacco use and to help in support ongoing cancer prevention research. The students walked the Catherine Valley Trail and WG school campus collecting discarded trash along their cleanup path. We have #WGProud students and teachers!
