Today's riddle: The top potato won what? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. Less lawn, more life: the new look of Wayland gardens (waylandpost.org) — Wayland homeowners are steadily trading traditional lawns for native plant gardens that support pollinators, birds, and local ecosystems. From school projects at Wayland High to expanded native offerings at nearby garden centers, residents are rethinking yards as resilient, wildlife-friendly spaces that respond to climate pressures and protect local waterways like the Sudbury River.
2. Longtime teaching colleagues to retire together (waylandpost.org) — Two beloved longtime educators who began their careers in Wayland at The Children’s Way and Happy Hollow School are retiring together at the end of June, closing out three decades in the district. They reflect on classroom memories, changing technology, and deep connections with Wayland students and families, while looking ahead to a slower-paced, well-earned next chapter together.
3. Wayland softball tops Ashland, 7-6, in Division 2 preliminary game (milforddailynews.com) — Wayland High softball edged Ashland 7-6 in a tense Division 2 preliminary round on May 29, keeping the Warriors’ postseason hopes alive. Photos capture key moments from Wayland’s seniors and underclassmen alike, including clutch hits, strong pitching, and a dramatic play at the plate that helped seal the one-run victory.
4. Alex Rikleen ends campaign for US senator in Mass. Who he's endorsing (wickedlocal.com) — A former Wayland resident, Alex Rikleen, has ended his long-shot Democratic primary campaign for U.S. Senate and is now backing incumbent Sen. Ed Markey. Rikleen, who grew up in town and now lives in Acton, cited shared views on climate, health care, and democracy, but said his shoestring campaign couldn’t raise enough money to continue.
