This drive brought the town together and impacted both the students in Connect, as well as the greater Wayland community. “You could see how helpful the town was and how our community came together and wanted to help out a community that wasn't our own [and] kids who were less fortunate than we were,” senior and Connect Program member Jordynn Lee said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/screenshot_2024-12-20_at_12.21.24___pm_720-e1734734228474.png)

Captain senior Hayley Shaw drives the ball down the field. "The team's bond has been really good compared to other years because of the unity of our two teams," Shaw said. "It feels like we're one big family instead of the usual separation between junior varsity and varsity. We’ve also had a lot of team bonding, like our weekly team dinners and a team sleepover to wrap up the season."
