WSPN Staff shared the top things to know about the 2022-2023 school year.

“As WHS returned to school on Sept. 1, administration has implemented some new regulations to student life,” WSPN Staff wrote.

Features:

Editor Sophia Oppenheim wrote about the return of WayCo for the 15th summer.

“Each year, players participate in a playoff game in August to wrap up the WayCo season,” Oppenheim wrote. “While the season comes to a conclusion, the games will happen the following summer, and it seems like there is not an end in sight for the local love for WayCo.”

Sports:

WSPN’s Sasha Libenzon previewed the fall sports teams, including captains and players to watch out for.

“Fall sports are officially kicking off,” Libenzon wrote.

Multimedia:

Co-Editor Sasha Libenzon photographed the last first day of school for the Class of 2023. Meanwhile, Staff Reporters Emma Zocco and Carolina Sdoia produced a gallery about the WHS football team’s first scrimmage against Needham and Co-Editor Charlotte Thirman photographed the boys soccer game against Mansfield.

A&E:

Editor Talia Macchi informed students on the blackout psych for the WHS football team’s opening game in the latest edition of “What the Warriors are Wearing.”

“As Wayland colors are black and orange, it should be quite easy for most to find an outfit,” Macchi wrote.

Opinion:

Co-Editor-in-Chief Genevieve Morrison shared her opinion on Wayland town meetings and whether they are actually democratic.

“I’m disappointed that we didn’t get a new field, but I’m even more angry that our local democratic processes cannot and will not represent their people,” Morrison wrote.

Broadcast:

Editor Deirdre Brown produced a video about the new social media platform BeReal, and students’ feelings about it.

“BeReal is a new social media that has taken over people’s lives for the better,” Brown wrote.
