Students from Mr. James Page’s Entrepreneurial Business Management (EBM) class at Wayland High School are now selling organic cotton bandanas in a "Bandanas for Burgess" campaign that will benefit the WayCo Softball League.
Each year EBM students choose a product to sell in the community and select a nonprofit as the recipient of its proceeds.This year student Scott Smith, who played in the softball league last summer at Cochituate Ball Field, nominated the league and his classmates agreed.
The late Dan Burgess was one of the league’s four co-founders and a Wayland High School Class of 2006 graduate. WayCo is now a Massachusetts nonprofit. Among its missions is donating to causes in the 20-year-old Burgess’s name, including the Wayland High School scholarship in his name, Wayland Warriors Football, and St. Zepherin’s Youth Ministry programs.
Students have been selling the bandanas at the landfill and at Whole Foods Market. They are being marketed as suitable for both humans and pets. As required by the class’s standards, the bandanas are eco-friendly.
To purchase a bandana, contact Lexi Cohen at lexc264@yahoo.com or Mr. Page at WHS (508)358-7746.
