Students Honored for Musical Talents

Dozens of Wayne students were honored Thursday for being selected to various local, regional, and state bands and ensemble groups.

Several talented Wayne students were honored for their musical talents at the Board of Education meeting Thursday. 

"The Wayne community, and our school system, have benefited from the pride and recognition that these students have brought to our town," said Matt Paterno, the district's high school music director.
