Wayland Union High School Choir Received a 1 Rating
Both Honors Choir and Select Choir will be moving on to State Solo and Ensemble. 10 Soloists will also be moving on to State Solo and Ensemble. These are incredibly difficult feats to achieve! All of them stayed after school, worked during Pride Time and on their own. The choirs practiced in the hallways in sections to make up for 6 snow days right before we had to perform. Congratulations to Wayland Union Choir students. They are a fantastic group of singers and we are so very proud of all of them.

Vegetable Cooking and Tasting Lab
Hands on learning at the High School: Nutrition class completed a Vegetable Cooking & Tasting Lab this week. After learning about vegetables, students were challenged to take a vegetable they don't really like a whole lot, and find an interesting recipe for it. Students then cooked the vegetables and presented them to classmates for tasting. High schoolers were pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoyed these dishes!
