Polar Plunge Success!

Thank you to all the brave and slightly crazy polar bears who braved the storm and cold temperatures to participate in the 2019 Polar Plunge at Mosquito Lake. Also thank you to those who made cash donations, purchased cookie trays & t-shirts and/or enjoyed the 1st Annual Chili Cook Off.

The Polar Plunge event raises money for Special Olympics in our area. This was our third year as the Raider Freeze team and each year, thanks to you, we break our personal goals for number of participants and donations. This year we had 44 team members and our donation goal was $500 which we surpassed with a still growing contribution of $3,585! The
Raider Freeze Team included WGH students, staff throughout the district, friends and family and our Students, and Resource Officers. We’d like to thank, Linda Trisler, honorary member, for designing and making our team shirts. The team is already planning for next year’s plunge. Consider joining.

Paint a Plow

A photo taken by Mrs. Amy Engster inspired WGH’s entry into the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Paint a Plow Initiative.  Art teacher Mr. John Johnson walks by the photo of students at a football game that hangs in the school’s library almost daily.  When thinking of the theme that his students and he wanted to present on the plow, Warren G.=Family, Mr. Johnson’s mind kept going back to that picture.   With the picture in mind, Mr. Johnson and his students came up with the design for the plow and then spent the week designing and painting.  Congratulations to Mr. Johnson and his students for their amazing work and Thank You to Mrs. Engster for the inspiration.

The picture that inspired the plow’s design:
