OHSAA State Championships
West Geauga High School had three athletes advance to the OHSAA State Championships in their respective winter sports. Senior Ashley Chase competed in the swimming girls 200 free, senior Rey Lifford represented the gymnastics team and freshman Brian Denamen competed in the wrestling championships at 144 pounds. Advancing to this level is a great accomplishment.
WGMS Book Club
The West Geauga Middle School Book Club is one of the many wonderful extracurricular opportunities available to students after school. The club has eight voracious readers in grades six through eight, including Vivian Lanzaretta, Janna Winningham, Morgan Savage, Lena Wright, Aurora Pavick, Evelyn Hosemann, Gabby Ohlsen and Caleb Wright (not pictured).
Each month they select either an exciting novel to devour, a genre to explore or an author to read and compare texts. The after-school discussions of the novels are entertaining as well as thoughtful.
WGMS Power of the Pen
The West Geauga Middle School Power of the Pen team recently competed in the regional competition. The talented group of students proved their skills in writing and were a great representation of the school, announced by the host as “the kindest team he’s ever met”. Janna Winningham took first place out of all competing seventh-graders and Gabby Ohlsen placed ninth. Both students will advance to the state competition. The final scores will be announced soon for all other writers to determine advancement.
WGMS GameCON
GameCON was a success at West Geauga Middle School, as students in the second trimester tech program learned skills to code original games, design 3D prints based on the game and use Photoshop to make posters, T-shirts, advertisements, logos, video game covers and more.
During the event, students choose the game(s) they want to play and winners are crowned based on the total “sales” their game generates. The participating students exhibited tech-savvy skills and creativity.
