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)

News Brief: Update on the field renovation progress

The progress of the field renovations at WHS has been increased to try and finish before winter. Athletic director Heath Rollins suggests keeping all doors and windows at WHS starting Thursday due to the odor of the rubberized urethane track surface
October 23, 2019
Since Wayland’s 2019 Annual Warrant to renovate WHS’ athletic facilities, which passed on April 30, there has been daily construction on the fields and turf in an attempt to finish the project in a timely manner. Recently, the progress on the facility project has been very quick as contractors rush to complete the renovation before winter weather arrives.
This Thursday, Oct. 24, a contractor will be applying the rubberized urethane track surface. This track surface will take 3 days to dry, and it produces a strong odor. Athletic Director Heath Rollins advised that, although the track is a good distance away from the WHS buildings, all doors and windows should be kept closed to minimize any odor in the buildings.
