WCMS student wins Warren Coalition video contest
Gerald Buhl, a sixth-grade student at Warren County Middle School, has won first prize in the Warren Coalition’s annual Health Video Contest. The contest was open to all Skyline Middle School and Warren County Middle School students; they could elect to submit a video about getting regular exercise, getting enough sleep, drinking water, or maintaining healthy eating habits. Gerald’s video focused on the importance of exercise, and it earned him a $125 Amazon gift card. Warren Coalition Executive Director Christa Shifflett surprised Gerald with his prize on Thursday, April 14th.
