The Wayne Patriots Robotics Team 9921 was victorious this weekend at Townsend Harris High School in Queens, at the New York State Championships. The Patriots were nominated for multiple awards and won three including the “Think Award” for most outstanding engineering notebook. The team went undefeated against a pool of 32 teams, scoring a contest record of 479 points in the championship.
The coed team with members from Wayne Hills and Wayne Valley High Schools, and Schuyler- Colfax and Anthony Wayne Middle Schools has had a remarkable run. They have participated in five events for the season including two meets, two qualifiers, and one championship. At each event, Team 9921 has won key awards and set record scores. Their accomplishments have been so exceptional, the organization that runs the events, FIRST Robotics Competition, has sent personnel from their New Hampshire headquarters to interview our team and study their robot.
As a result of their win this weekend, the Patriots are now qualified to participate for the 2017- 2018 East Super-Regional Championship Tournament, which will be held on March 16-18, 2018 at the University of Scranton in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Wayne Valley High School Senior Katherine O’Donnell saw a post by a mom of a student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Facebook a few days ago. The post was asking any group, organization, or school to send a banner of support to MSD High School, in hopes of making the return for students a little easier. Their goal was to have their fences and hallways filled with these banners. Once she saw this, her immediate reaction was that Wayne Valley should send a banner. Katherine, along with other students, created the banner which was signed by students and staff.
Pictured are Emily Kapitza and Katherine O’Donnell..
The students and staff at Wayne Hills High School wanted to send love and support to Marjory Stoneman Douglas (MSD) High School in Parkland, Florida. MSD High School requested banners from schools all around the country so Wayne Hills decided to send them an aerial drone shot of everyone on the field. The drone was operated by senior student, Josh Kashmann. Mr. Paterno and his band students helped create the shape prior to the picture and the students were able to form a heart around the Wayne Hills High School logo. Wayne Hills would like to thank the Wayne Township Police who provided extra security during the photoshoot.
The students in Anthony Wayne Middle School's Spirit Boosters Club were very excited to share their appreciation of the first responders who service our school by preparing Valentine wishes. Club members were glad to be able to hand deliver their treats to the firefighters at Wayne Company #4 and the Wayne First Aid Squad. Their tokens of appreciation for the Police Department were delivered to headquarters for the officers' enjoyment.
Congratulations to the Wayne Hills Boys and Wayne Valley Girls Basketball teams for winning both Passaic County Boys and Girls Basketball Championships this past Saturday. For Wayne Hills, Saturday's final was the first time any Wayne Hills Boys Basketball Team appeared in the Passaic County Basketball Championship Game. The team made the most of the opportunity in a hard fought 55-21 overtime win over top seed John. F. Kennedy High School.
The second game of Saturday's championship double header pitted Wayne Valley against Lakeland. Wayne Valley pulled ahead early in the game, only to see Lakeland fight back. In the end, Wayne Valley upset the top seeded Lancers 35-27, ended their 13 game winning streak, and won the first Passaic County Girls Championship for Wayne Valley in 41 years.
