![This year, the Wayland team is made out of a JV team and a varsity team. There is a wide range of grades from eighth grade to twelfth grade that make up the teams. " [What] I will miss most [about the seniors] is their willingness to be involved," sophomore Mackenzie Grogan said. "Whether it was with school drama or referee frustration, they were really good at listening and giving good advice."](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/8F0FD331-F005-4C3F-9F77-402D1C1953D6_1_201_a-1200x800.jpg)
At roughly 3:30 p.m., a grenade from World War II was found by a student on Loker Elementary School grounds.
The grenade was found during the afterschool program, BASE, at the school. The school was evacuated soon afterwards, and once members of the Wayland Police Department and Wayland Fire Department arrived at Loker, a perimeter was secured around the premises.
Later, a bomb squad from the Massachusetts State Police arrived, and determined that the grenade inactive and did not pose a threat. It is still unclear how or when the grenade was brought onto school grounds. Local authorities have released a statement regarding the incident.
“The bomb squad determined that the object was an inert World War II grenade and removed it from the premises,” the statement read. “There is no danger to the public. The incident remains under investigation by Wayland Police.”
