After a three year hiatus, the demand for football at Wayland is growing. Led by an enthusiastic and skilled coaching staff, they are on a mission to rebuild Wayland's football tradition. 

The present equipment is reaching the end of its useful life.  That, combined with growth in participation amongst the student body, on top of the ever-changing advancement in equipment technology, will result in the need to purchase more updated equipment.

During Wayland Academy's annual Day of Giving—Waylandtines Day—alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends came together to raise funds for the Academy's forest restoration project. The three-acre forested green space on North Campus has many ash trees that have died due to the impact of the Emerald Ash Borer. This has also caused significant health and hazard concerns to the Wayland community, as the areas affected are  frequently used and are adjacent to academic buildings, parking, campus sidewalks, and neighboring residential housing. With a 2:1 matching grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, we have the unique opportunity to fund the removal of dead/dying trees, replant new trees, and provide a learning opportunity for our environmental science and Ecology Club students.

Wayland's first ever waterfront program was launched in the spring of 2022. Since then, 51 students have participated on Wayland's Crew Team during both the spring and fall seasons.

Please help us raise $60,000 to help build our crew and support them in meeting their goals, now and in the future!
