Wayland Student Press Network 2/24/10: Tutwiler: limited parking to be available next year. At a meeting with parents and students this Tuesday, Principal Patrick Tutwiler unveiled plans for limited parking next year: roughly 130 spots for an estimated 195 senior drivers. Earlier this year, Superintendant Gary Burton said there would be no student parking due to construction of the new high school building. However, High School Principal Patrick Tutwiler, working in tandem with Wayland’s public buildings director John Moynihan and dean of students Scott Parseghian, came up with a plan to have limited parking space on campus available to students. Parking is “an important part of the senior experience,” said Tutwiler at the meeting on Tuesday. Tutwiler emphasized that the on-campus parking effort would be “focused 100% on the seniors.”

Wayland Town Crier 2/5/10: Wayland High students ready for trip of a lifetime. When buying a cup of coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts, not many high school students stop to think about where that coffee actually came from – beyond the worker behind the cashier all the way to where and how it was grown. Jim Page, teacher of entrepreneurship and business management at Wayland High School, has made it his business to see that his students are educated consumers. Fourteen juniors and seniors will be accompanying Page to Chiapas, Mexico, during February vacation to learn about sustainable development and ethically traded coffee. "The driving factor behind the trip to Mexico is that I want students to understand there’s a story behind every product they use," said Page.
