“[Running a marathon] might seem like a big thing, when it’s presented to you at first, but if you break it up and just keep telling yourself, “Yes, you can,” you can start chipping away at it. And before you know it, you’ll be running the whole 26 miles, and you won’t even think twice about it.” T. Hoyt said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/C36E8761-1CBB-452E-9DF2-543EF7B1095E_1_105_c.jpeg)
On Thursday, May 22, Window Dance Ensemble (Window) performed night one of their annual spring show in the WHS auditorium. Window also performed the show on Friday, May 23, for the final time of the 2024-2025 school year. The theme of this spring’s show was “Head in the Clouds,” and senior directors Anna Varney and Elyssa Grillo choreographed each of the dances to correspond with that theme. “I’ve made so many different friendships throughout my years on Window, and will be forever thankful for them,” junior Makenzie Macchi said. “Having our last show with the seniors definitely caused many tears, but I also know it’s not [a] goodbye forever from the team, as we expect many visits next year.”
