The Mo Schneider Scholarship has been established to celebrate Mo s wonderful legacy as our long-time coach of the Wheatley Boys and Girls Varsity tennis teams and to honor the memory of Mo s beloved children. Two scholarships will be presented to one deserving male and one deserving female student-athlete. Members of the Varsity Boys and Girls tennis teams have established the following criteria for the selection of recipients for the Mo Schneider Scholarship: Graduating senior student-athlete (tennis preferred) Exemplary academic achievement Displays positive attitude and sense of humor Love of and aptitude in English Promotes equality and fairness Inspires others to achieve The Walter W. Wathey Award is named in honor of a loyal and dedicated educator who worked for the East Williston Union Free School District for more than 30 years. Mr. Wathey was the Principal at North Side Elementary School for four years before assuming the Assistant Principal s position at The Wheatley School for two years. In 1960, Mr. Wathey was named Principal at Wheatley, a position he held for nineteen years. In addition to his visionary leadership and many fine innovations to the academic program, he was dedicated to making participation in the interscholastic athletic program an important educational experience for every student. Mr. Wathey was a veteran of World War II, having served in combat on the European front, and recipient of two Purple Hearts. The Walter W. Wathey Award is presented annually to a senior student-athlete for athletic excellence and outstanding service to The Wheatley School.

4 The George Glaser Memorial Award was created to honor the memory of George Glaser, a 1965 graduate of The Wheatley School. George represented the epitome of a true scholarathlete. He excelled in all academic and athletic pursuits. From schoolboy exploits to competition at the national level, George constantly strived to achieve and enjoyed considerable success. His legacy includes a National Championship in the Marine Corps Physical Fitness competition, various Track and Field school records that remained over 40 years later, Co- Captain of Wheatley s first Nassau County Championship soccer team, charter member of The Wheatley Hall of Fame and a member of the United States National Ski Team. In recognition of his exemplary academic performance, George was also inducted into the National Honor Society. Tragically, George passed away shortly after graduating from The Wheatley School, and the award is dedicated to honor his memory and celebrate his qualities as an exceptional person and student-athlete. The George Glaser Memorial Award is presented annually to the senior student-athlete who most exemplified the qualities of excellence and dedication to the Wheatley athletic program.
