High School Collage Concert
Students Participate in Art Hop
Wayland Union Schools students volunteered at the annual Art Hop in downtown Wayland this past weekend. Theater students dressed up like Charles Dickens characters, high school choir members sang Christmas Carols, orchestra students played in various venues, and some students had their artwork on display. It was a great night for the community and to see our students highlight their talents!
Heroes at Baker Elementary
Baker Elementary is a great place to volunteer! Kid’s Hope mentors come in once a week and work one-on-one with students. Also, several parents spend time at Baker each week helping in their child’s classroom.
Pictured below is Tom Niemchick who volunteers in Mrs. Penfield's All Boys Kindergarten class. While helping out, Tom reads to the boys as a group. Afterwards they split up into groups of four and work on sight words. After Tom’s accident, he found himself with a lot of extra time on his hands. His sister encouraged him to volunteer at his local school. It was a perfect fit for Tom and for the boys in the All Boys class. Anna Spray volunteers as a tutor for first graders. Anna has been volunteering at Baker Elementary for the past five years since she retired from Kellogg six years ago. She helps tutor children who need a little extra one-on-one help.
