![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)

Fashionistas of the Month: November Edition
Name: Ryan MacDonald
Grade: Junior
Favorite store: “My favorite store is Foot Locker because I like shoes, and I think they put the whole outfit together.”
Online shopping or in-store? “I prefer in-store because you actually get to see what you’re buying in person and most likely won’t have to return it if you end up not liking it or if it doesn’t fit well.”
Fashion icon: “My fashion icon is Pete Davidson because his style got [him to date] Ariana Grande.”
Outfit: “My outfit is a blue fish taco hat from Vineyard Vines, a blue Nantucket hoodie from Beantown Apparel, grey Nike shorts, white Nike socks and white Converse.”
Favorite season: “My favorite season to dress for is fall because you can dress warm and cozy, but you can also wear shorts and t-shirts.”
Design time: “I pick my outfits the night before I lay them out on my floor, so when I get up, I can shower and get right into them.”
Favorite article of clothing: “My favorite article of clothing is hats because then I don’t have to brush my hair.”
Style word: “If I could use one word my style would be unorganized, because honestly, I don’t know how to match clothes.”
Advice for the fashion-challenged: “My best fashion advice would be to use your clothes as a way to express yourself and give people a statement without using your voice, kind of a “show don’t tell” type of thing.”
Name: Sofia Barris
Grade: Junior

Online shopping or in-store? “I prefer online because the mall is my least favorite place on earth.”
