Senior Photos
Senior photos should be emailed to yearbook@waylandunion.org. Please share only ONE photo to be used in the yearbook. Photos need to be in portrait orientation. The clothing choice needs to follow the school dress code. A simple head and shoulder shot looks best in the yearbook.
Please crop photos before submitting. We create square boxes for the portraits to accommodate for portrait orientations. If we need to crop your photo, we cannot guarantee how it will look in the final product.
Photos due are by Friday, December 3, 2021.
We request that the pictures look professional (i.e. no “Selfies”). If there are financial issues preventing a student from having a senior picture taken, please let us know because we can arrange for a yearbook photographer to take some nice pictures.
For questions please contact yearbook@waylandunion.org

4th Annual 2021 Thanksgiving Day 5K Turkey Trot to FIGHT HUNGER
This is an IN PERSON and VIRTUAL non-competitive 5K fun run/walk to collect non-perishable food items and/or make your monetary donations to Hand2Hand to give back to the Wayland School District
WHEN: Thanksgiving Day Morning, November 25, 2021
WHERE: In-person 5k in Dorr with START/FINISH at United Bank (PARKING at Dorr Elementary) or Virtual 5K
TIME: 830am in person start / virtual finish by 12 noon
This year we will be doing both an in person and virtual run/walk.
Your entry will help fight hunger for kids directly in our community with a partnership formed with Hand 2 Hand.
With this partnership, every monetary and/or food donation goes right back to kids in the Wayland Union School district!
Here is how your entry works:
We will have “3” designated hand2hand drop-off locations – a trailer parked at the Dorr Township Fire Station and the Wayland Administration Building (Nov. 19-29); and inside Hilltop Subway (Nov. 7-28).
Look for the hand2hand logo.
Should you choose to make a monetary gift—go directly to: https://h2hkids.org/donate/
and select 2021 Turkey Trot from the ‘Donation Campaign’ drop down.
See attached flier with specific needs for our district as well as what your monetary donation can provide.
Your participation – for those who have made a donation, the next step is to plan to run/walk a 5k (3.1 miles) on Thanksgiving Day morning.
I will share the route closer to the event date. Otherwise, virtual runners, you can start out right from your home or wherever you are that morning..
Post a picture (selfie) - of you or with friends/family you run with to show your participation in running/walking for a cause to help the fight against hunger right in our community.
This is what Thanksgiving really is about – GIVING!
Winners – There will be a small gift for best time and medals for Top 5 finishers.
NOTE: If you would like a race bib, there will be a pickup window of time the evening before (TBD).
A SPECIAL THANK YOU to the Dorr Fire Department , Wayland Union Schools, Dorr Hilltop Subway and United Bank of Dorr for supporting this event!
Thank you event volunteers:
