WHS SADD Shines

Wayland High School SADD Shines Day

Wayland High School SADD (Students Against Destructive
Decisions) will join thousands of their peers across the country on Wednesday, February 5, 2014, with an award ceremony to recognize the leaders
in their group and to show the community what SADD has done for Wayland. The ceremony will
be held on the national SADD Shines Day to recognize the power of positive
peer engagement and to honor teens’ commitment to helping young people fulfill
their life dreams. 

SADD was founded at Wayland High School on the principle that
young people are uniquely powerful in keeping their friends safe and alive. WHS
SADD students will show their SADD spirit and celebrate national SADD
Shines Day with a special ceremony centered on a homemade lantern. As the
unifying symbol for this annual event, the lit lanterns will demonstrate how
SADD students light the way to making our schools and communities stronger and
healthier places.

“National SADD Shines Day focuses the country’s attention on the
optimism and energy of young people in creating meaningful change in their
personal lives, schools, and communities across the country,” stated Penny
Wells, SADD President and CEO. “Together, with the many caring adults who have
helped guide the work, thousands of young lives have been saved along the way.
This unique legacy involves caring and action, empowering young people to
empower each other.”

All members of the community are invited to attend Wayland’s
SADD Shines Day activities on Wednesday, February 5th at 7:00 pm in
the High School auditorium.
