Huge shoutout to all the coaches, student-athletes, and clinicians who spent their weekend getting better!

This weekend, the OM/WG Wrestling program hosted its 2nd annual summer camp, giving 55 local wrestlers a chance to sharpen their skills. Athletes from OM/WG, Ithaca, Penfield, and South Seneca trained hard over three days of intense sessions and fun competition.

Special thanks to our incredible clinicians:

Josh Antoine (Ithaca HS)
Brandon Gould (Watkins Glen alum)
Connor Lapresi (Utica College)

From takedown matches to beach wrestling at Clute Park and a round-robin tourney, it was an unforgettable experience! #WrestleOMWG #SchuylerStrong

Special thanks to all of the coaches, alumni, and volunteers who made this year's camp an overwhelming success.

The elementary main office will be closed from July 18-July 21st.

Last night’s concert and art show highlighted the remarkable talent of our students. Thank you to our student musicians for delivering a polished, engaging performance, and to our Choral Director (Mrs. Bronwyn Cabuk) and Band Director (Mrs. Sarahjane Harrigan) for their leadership and preparation. The visual art displayed throughout the building was equally impressive. Our student artists showcased creativity, skill, and attention to detail — a clear reflection of the thoughtful instruction and support provided by our art teachers (Mrs. Hackett, Ms. Burke, and Mrs. Coleman) . We're proud to celebrate the work of all involved. Our student artists make us #WGProud
