Six students from The Wheatley School, part of the East Williston School District, have been selected to showcase their artwork in the 2025 Gardening Calendar and Guide, following their success in the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County Student Art Competition.

Freshmen Reagan Dunn, Carolina Millan, Danielle Shalomov and Grace Xuereb; and juniors Audrey Rogan and Zayneb Zafar received awards for their work.

The Gardening Calendar and Guide serves as a resource for home gardeners, offering
daily tips, best practices and research-based advice.

Reagan Dunn earned a Gold Level Award for her artwork, which will be featured in
March, as well as a Bronze Level Award for another piece that will appear on a
monthly page.

Carolina Millan received a Bronze Level Award for her artwork that will be

Through their participation in the competition, the students not only created a seasonal theme in their artwork, but also inspired their peers in the arts.
