At the end of each sports season, the NYSPHSAA honors those teams and individuals that excel in the classroom. Those student-athletes, teams, and schools work very hard throughout the year and deserve to be recognized for their academic success.
To receive Scholar-Athlete team recognition with a certificate, the team’s average GPA for 75% of the roster must be greater than or equal to 90.00.
Congratulations to our Gananda Varsity Boys Soccer, Varsity Girls Soccer, and our combined Gananda/Wayne Varsity Girls Swim teams on achieving recognition as Scholar-Athlete teams.

Cold urticaria symptoms begin after the skin is exposed to a sudden drop in air temperature or cold water. Damp and windy conditions may make a flare of symptoms more likely.
The worst reactions generally occur with full skin exposure, such as swimming in cold water. Anaphylactic reactions can occur with cold urticaria.
If you have skin reactions after cold exposure, see your doctor.
