![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)

A group of WHS teachers surprised students in the Commons by dancing in a flash mob during first lunch on Wednesday, May 22. The teachers who performed were Caroline Meliones, Jill Swenson, Kathleen Thompson, Nancy Flórez, Sarah Fowks, Judith Pickett, Erin Dalbec, Mary Barber, Corrine Lowen, Jennifer McGuinn, Heidi Friedlander and Jessica Imbornone.
The teachers danced to “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore with a routine choreographed by junior Sydney Schaefer and senior Nina Price.
Barber originally thought of the idea of doing a flash mob.
“We enjoyed it, and we think the students did too… I think the students enjoy seeing their teachers in a different light,” Imbornone said. “Sometimes it is fun to just act silly and to not take everything so seriously.”
The teachers also performed this dance during the Student/Staff Talent Show on the evening of Tuesday, May 21 along with vice principal Allyson Mizoguchi and science teacher Kristin Wheeler.

![Junior Benjamin Hammond solos "Twist and Shout" by The Beatles as part of the T-Tones performance. "[Twist and Shout] is one of my favorite songs, and with the amount of vocal harmony it has I figured it would be good for A Capella," Hammond said. "[Twist and Shout] has pretty simple rhythms and awesome energy, which fits the vibe of the T-Tones. I arranged the song basically identical to how it is written, because I think the guitar riff, bass riff and the harmonies are all excellent as well as easy to sing."](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/8E057B61-9507-4115-811F-93F1FB6F7EB4_1_105_c.jpg)
