WAYLAND, MA — School may be out but it's never too early to start thinking about next year's senior prom and graduation. The planning started early with the help of Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and her donation of a $500 check to Wayland High School.

The funds will go towards promoting substance-free events after prom and graduation.

Wayland High School is one of several high schools that applied to receive $500 from the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office for safe post-prom and graduation events.
