![WHS’s Connect Program ran its annual holiday gift drive to fulfill the wishlist of children enrolled in the Dorchester based non-profit daycare organization, the Yawkey Center. 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)

On Friday, Feb. 9, WSPN staff participated in a journalism scavenger hunt where they interviewed people at Wayland High School and took pictures according to the scavenger hunt categories. The instructors were to either get an audio quote or a picture and caption, and the prompts ranged from more traditional content, such as interviewing students and teachers, to a few silly ones. At the end of the class, the Multimedia section won the scavenger hunt with completing 28/29 prompts.

Junior and Opinion Section Editor Reva Datar participates in WSPN's scavenger hunt with her phone camera open and ready to take pictures as she examines her list. Each item on the paper was a prompt for a photo. Students teamed-up by section, but many groups split up to efficiently check items off the list.
