Battle of 306
The Wolverines are ready to rumble in the second annual Battle of 306, with proceeds benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
West Geauga and Kirtland high schools have teamed up this year with the Ronald McDonald House Charities for a donation drive, with a competitive twist to see which school can collect the most items. In the culminating event, Kirtland students will travel down state Route 306 to West Geauga to compete in a series of minute-to-win-it-type challenges to determine the winner of the Principal’s Cup trophy.
The district needs the community’s help. Consider supporting the Ronald McDonald House by donating items from the WG Battle of 306 Amazon Wishlist, which can be found on the district website: www.westg.org. Purchased items can either be dropped off at the high school main office or shipped to West Geauga High School, 13401 Chillicothe Road, Chesterland, OH 44026, through Feb. 21.
First Tech Challenge
West Geauga High School students recently participated in the First Tech Challenge qualifier. The students worked hard to build and code their robots to tackle tasks like picking up and hanging blocks. They competed in six intense rounds and showed off their skills and teamwork.
Thank you to Rockwell Automation for its sponsorship of the West G team and to Kirtland High School for its mentorship, as it was West Geauga’s first time competing.
Power of the Pen
The West Geauga Middle School Power of the Pen teams recently competed at the district tournament hosted by University School. The seventh-grade team took first place. Individually, team members Hannah Nevar took first place, Vanessa Winningham took third place and Cora Duxbury scooped up fifth place. The eighth-grade team faced tough competition, but Ellie Pierson took home seventh place individually.
Once all of the points are tabulated, additional students may also be eligible to move forward to the regional tournament in March.
