Pictured at left are Wayland Board of Education members Pete Zondervan, Teresa Dobry, Dan Cassini, Janell Hott, Cinnamon Mellema, Toni Ordway and Gary Wood at the new and improved Ron Stehouwer football stadium Thursday evening as they prepared to take part in the school’s most unusual commencement, outdoors with masks and all students in cars, almost like a huge tailgate party. Of course the reason for the revised exercises was the continuing threat of the Coronaviris pandemic.

In the cover photo are Benjamin and Christina Niemchick, two of the 2020 graduating seniors, striking a heroic and healthy pose. Hopkins High School the week before had a similar drive-up ceremony for the same reason.
