![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 Monday, May 6, Wayland High School (WHS) students began taking Advanced Placement (AP) tests in 20 individual subjects. Students in AP classes who score above a certain number will possibly gain credit for certain courses in college.
Testing locations are organized by subject and last names, and testing will occur in various locations around the school, including the lecture hall, field house and library. WHS AP Coordinator Aimee Lima emailed the full exam schedule to students and families last week. Lima also addressed expectations for the exam days including what and what not to bring to exam sessions.
Furthermore, the library will be closed for the next two weeks due to testing. The library will not be open before, during or after the school day during this duration of time. On Monday, May 5, WHS principal Allyson Mizoguchi explained in an email that the closure will maintain a silent setting for the students who are taking the exams. Mizoguchi also mentioned the recommendations she has for those who aren’t taking AP exams during this time.
“I encourage you to use the commons and SLCs if you are looking for a place to study alone or with friends,” Mizoguchi wrote.
