Wakefield Community School

The Nebraska Department of Education recognizes six different career clusters which helps guide our career readiness education. The clusters are: Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources; Health Sciences; Communication and Information Systems; Business, Marketing, and Management; Human Services and Education; and Skilled and Technical Sciences. In the elementary, Mrs. Vinchattle teaches about opportunities in these career clusters as part of classroom guidance lessons. This year, she would like to tap into our community to find guest speakers from each cluster to share their experiences with students. If you are interested in being a guest speaker for classroom guidance lessons this Spring, please reach out to Mrs. Vinchattle at bvinchattle@wakefieldschools.org. Guidance lessons occur every day from 2-3:30 for grades K-6 and the career unit will begin on April 8. Thank you for your consideration!

Congratulations to Jaden Sievers on earning the Nebraska Eagle Scout Scholarship and the Board of Governors Merit Waiver to Northeast Community College- covering his full tuition for two years! This incredible achievement is a testament to his hard work, leadership, and dedication.

Jaden has been a highly involved member of Wakefield Community Schools, participating in One Act, Boy Scouts, track, football, SkillsUSA, and choir. His strong work ethic and positive attitude have made a lasting impact on those around him.

Jaden plans to attend Northeast Community College this fall to study Mechanized Agriculture. We are proud to call him a Trojan and will greatly miss him at Wakefield Community Schools. Best of luck in all that lies ahead, Jaden!
