The West Genesee Wildcat Marching Band is in need of help raising money to replace their old uniforms so the alumni association has set up a New Uniform Fund to help.
the band has worn out the 10 year old ones to where they are no longer usable. There is limited district budget for new uniforms at this time, and the staff has asked us (alumni members) to raise at least $10,000 in donations towards the purchase price of $60,000.Any amount you can give will be helpful (and tax deductible).
Great News! We now have online registration available for the Adult Education program. This system will enable us to communicate with you more efficiently through email, manage class enrollment, and accept credit card payments in addition to the check and money orders we already accept.

A note from our local police department:
The first day of school for our children in the West Genesee School District is tomorrow. Camillus Police officers in marked and unmarked police vehicles will be working on local streets near schools enforcing the speed limit. Please use extra caution in these school zones as well as in our neighborhoods. Our children will be boarding and exiting buses, as well as walking to and from school. Please use extra caution and slow down!
All of it looked familiar – the powerful and effective running game, the front lines dominating the line of scrimmage, the defense shutting down whatever the opposition cooked up.

Notes point to the 7-0 softball team, an anti-bullying program, the budget, and his new Twitter segment.
The WG Schools have posted and online version of this months West Genesee Communicator that details the 2010-2011 budget proposal. The budget vote is scheduled for May 18th, 2010 from 6pm-9pm at The High School Auditorium.
Loss of sales tax revenue may force cuts for the West Gennesee athletic and fine arts budgets.
Of the nearly $70 million annual budget, the West Genesee Central School District stands to lose $1.2 million in sales tax revenue shared by Onondaga County, a figure which could wipe out the fine arts and athletics budget.
All revisions to the sales tax sharing agreement being considered by the county legislature will cut sales tax shared with school districts.
“$1.2 million covers our entire athletics, entire fine arts and extracurricular activities,” Superintendent of Schools Christpher Brown said.
Superintendent of Schools, Christopher Brown has updated his blog with some thoughts for the school break. Comments range from safety issues, his meeting with the Commissioner of Education and sale tax revenue.
