![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)

Sports Idol: Grazewski’s sports idol is Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady. Grazewski loves the story of Brady. Grazewski admires how Brady didn’t start, and then he worked super hard. After working hard and getting his chance, he has become the best. “I feel like he is always on top of his game, he’s never really off”
Favorite Memory: Grazewski’s favorite memory tracks back to her freshman year of lacrosse. As a freshman, Grazewski and the varsity squad came together to win the East Sectional Final. Grazewski got to play with her sister’s best friend, which gave her a lot more momentum to win. “I feel like that game we really peaked together, we were all assisting each other the whole game, it was super fun!” Grazewski had 7 goals in that game.
Quote: “Somewhere behind the athlete you’ve become and the hours of practices and the coaches who have pushed… is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back… Play for her”
