![Join WSPNs Selena Liu, Kally Proctor and Jenny Shine as they explore pickleball and the rise of the sports popularity in Wayland. “I think I just drove by [the high school] and saw people playing, so I started to join,” Wayland resident Bruce Greenberg said. “My friends were playing [pickleball] and I wanted to play.”](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/pickleball-featured-image-900x600.jpeg)

After senior Eileen Kaewapresert made the pasta dough, the rest of the students got to create the shapes of their choice. “At first, this was only a small group to bond with two special needs students, Melody and Marissa [Wong], because they already had an interest in cooking,” Kaewprasert said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/18CCCDA2-968D-4E23-8DD9-E1C0F29F7BCE_1_201_a-900x600.jpeg)

This year, Winokur has become further involved in the school community as a new advisor for WHS alliance club, a club which focuses on educating people on LGBTQ+ issues and providing a safe space for queer students. “Especially the safe space part [is important to me],” Winokur said. “We’re very lucky in the part of the country we live in and the community that we live in that, in general, it is a fairly safe place to live.
