Student Recognition
We are so proud of our 10 WGMS students who participated in the district Spelling Bee this week against 10 CMS students. From this round, four total West Genesee students will go onto the next county-wide level, and three of those students are from WGMS!! Congratulations to Blake Bucktooth, Olivia Capozzi, and Tommy Cleveland - we are cheering you on!
A BIG congratulations to the Physical Education Students of the Month for October: Addison Davis, Bryce Fougnier, Ellie Kent, and Noah Wilmot. These students have demonstrated great enthusiasm and effort during every PE class, and the energy levels that they bring to class is outstanding!
We would also like to congratulate Katelyn Pensabene and Jackson Woody who were recognized and honored Thursday night as the Camillus Optimists Student of the Year for their outstanding character and contributions to West Genesee Middle School.
