Wayside Middle School sells Yuda Bands to benefit Zimbabwe orphan
In February, Wayside National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) sponsors, Kim Mays and Shawna Wilson, and NJHS student officers attended the LEAD NJHS Conference in Chicago where they learned about a service-learning project that could impact the lives of students as well as children worldwide.
The project is called, "Yuda Bands." A Yuda Band is a handmade leather and coconut bracelet from Guatemala and is derived from "aYUDA," the Spanish word for help, aid, or assistance. The project involves selling Yuda Bands to help build scholarship funds for youth in developing nations who would otherwise be unable to continue their education beyond the sixth-grade level due to financial constraints.
After the conference, Mays, Wilson, and the NJHS student officers presented the project to the students, faculty, and staff of Wayside. Together, they decided to sell the bands to benefit sixth-grade Zimbabwe orphan, Ephraim.

About our people
In February, Saginaw High School gymnastics coach Eric Briley was chosen as a "Key Influencer." A Key Influencer, as described by the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), is an individual who helps shape the attitudes and opinions of youth in their community.
Each year, military officials from the Naval Air Station Reserve Base in Fort Worth submit four nominations of civilian leaders in the surrounding communities. The Blue Angels choose two out of the four to participate in the Blue Angels Demonstration Squadron program "Key Influencer Flights." This year, Coach Briley had the opportunity to fly with trained Blue Angel military professionals on the F/A-18 aircraft.
