Wayland High School Late Night 2019 Help support a safe, fun night for our students!
Saturday, May 18 will be an exciting day for Wayland High School students – it is the evening of the Junior Prom. For the 21st year, Wayland High School parents and the local business community will come together to fund and support “Late Night,” a fun, supervised event for our Prom-goers and their guests immediately following the Prom. Late Night is a free, after-Prom celebration organized and chaperoned by our High School parents, designed to provide a safe and substance-free environment where classmates can be together and celebrate on Prom Night.
Late Night is 100% funded by our Wayland parents and the local business community. We keep this event FREE for the kids to make their attendance as easy as possible. All Juniors and their guests are encouraged to participate in this event, whether they attend the prom or not, so we need your financial support. Donations are needed to plan and secure the entertainment, food and activities that will ensure a fun and successful event. The cost to cover all of the event expenses is estimated to be $85 per person. Please help us make Late Night 2019 a memorable event by making as generous a donation as possible.
Tax-deductible donations can be made payable to the Wayland PTO and mailed to: LATE NIGHT 2019, c/o Elizabeth Shine, 29 Training Field Road, Wayland, MA 01778. Please provide your name, phone number, and email. Or you can go online and donations can be made at www.waylandpto.org/high-school-pto/late-night/. The Wayland PTO is a non-profit organization, Fed ID# 20-0141838.
Please contact Lana Murphy or Sandy O’Driscoll at LateNightWHS@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to learn more.

The Wayland Elementary Schools’ PTO is gearing up for the 2019 Backpack Auction. The Backpack Auction is the second part of the elementary PTO’s annual fundraising campaign in which the proceeds are divided between Claypit Hill, Happy Hollow, and Loker School. The auction is a chance for the Wayland teachers, staff and community to raise money for the elementary schools by donating items or their time for families to bid on. This silent-style auction includes items such as kids classes and lessons, camps, passes to local venues, tickets to sporting events, gift cards and special events with your favorite teachers. The Backpack Auction will take place in March 2019.
In order to make the event a success, we need you! You can share a hobby (knitting lessons, sports lessons, photography, baking lessons, etc.), your services (author, musician, athlete, artist, event planner, etc.), a donation from a Wayland business, event tickets, or even time in a vacation home.
A heartfelt thank you for all of the pajama donations to Project Pajama!
This year, we collected 350 pairs of pajamas for the elementary school children in Lowell. It was our largest year yet! We were truly thrilled and touched by this effort, and thanks to you, there are many warm, happy children wearing brand-new pajamas. One of the students said: “It was the best day of her life ever!”
Happy New Year, and we look forward to your support in 2019.

Making a donation to the Wayland Public Schools Foundation (WPSF) is a perfect way to say “Thank You” to a special teacher or staff member this holiday season. For more than 30 years, WPSF has supported teachers by funding classroom innovations and creative units of study that are not covered by the school budget. Every donation to the HATS Off campaign helps to ensure the continued availability of these valuable resources for our teachers and staff. It is a great way to show your appreciation this time of year!
When you make a donation to HATS Off, each teacher or staff member you designate will receive a personalized HATS Off certificate that will include your very own message of thanks. The amount donated will not be disclosed. Visit the WPSF website here to donate. Donations are tax deductible and may qualify for matching gifts at participating companies.
