![In previous years, New England ski mountains have left eager skiers unsatisfied because of the sub-par and icy conditions on the slopes. Despite this situation, veteran skiers, and WHS sophomores Tobias Kyleber, Mathew Moscoffian and Colin Moleux provide some insight on why some mountains have a higher level quality than others, in their eyes. “[Two of my favorite mountains in New England] are Mount Stow and Mount Cannon,” Moscoffian said. “These mountains are better because they have the best quality of snow and have the most trails open, usually.”](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Untitled-design-6-1200x800.png)
![On Tuesday, Jan. 28, Wayland Cares director J Verhoosky led a presentation on the importance of choosing to be vulnerable in conversations. Through various activities and experiments, the audience was instructed to confront how they approach risk taking and their comfort zones. “[My biggest takeaway was] make yourself available for other people and share things you might not share with other people to make them feel like they're in a safe environment,” junior Addison Voight said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/JLb1q3m4ZHvNAKYzv7c60kyyrrafzS8pJlYoJcoj.png)

Above is the Islamic Center of Boston, located in Wayland. The mosque recently received a photocopied hate letter invoking President-elect Donald Trump. Several other mosques around the nation have received the same letter.
Pictured above is a poster detailing the “Standing with Our Neighbors: United Against Hate” event that will take place this Sunday.
On Sunday, Nov. 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., a march will take place at the Islamic Center of Boston (ICB) in Wayland.
According to an email sent by Principal Allyson Mizoguchi to all faculty at WHS, the march is in response to a “hateful note” received by the ICB last week.
ICB president Malik Khan wrote in an email to the Metrowest Daily News that the note the ICB received addresses the worshipers at the mosque as the “children of Satan” and that it included the sentence, “There’s a new sheriff in town — President Donald Trump.”
The event is sponsored by the Islamic Center of Boston, the Wayland Clergy Association, the Wayland Diversity Network, Baha’i’s of Wayland, Transition Wayland, Showing Up for Racial Justice Metrowest and other organizations.
Those interested in attending the event are advised by the ICB to meet at the Wayland Town Center and then carpool to Temple Shir Tikva to park for the event. The ICB is located at 126 Boston Post Road, Wayland, MA, 01778.
