This week, our students showed the P2 strength of Bravery! We are so proud of our students for stepping outside their comfort zones, trying new things, and showing courage even when things felt hard. Way to be brave!
On Tuesday, November 3rd, the 8th grade students from Wakefield Community Schools went on a visit to Northeast Community College. For many of them, this was their first experience visiting a college campus. This visit was organized as an effort to encourage students at a young age to begin thinking about their postsecondary education/plans. The 8th graders arrived on campus and began the day with a fun activity to determine which careers may be a good fit for them based on their skills and interests. The inventory focused on the following areas: nature smart, logic smart, body smart, people smart, creative smart, and industrial smart. The NECC staff incorporated fun minute-to-win-it activities related to these skills, which engaged the students. After the skills and interest inventory and activities, the students were broken into groups and toured the campus. This visit was extra special as Wakefield alumni, Gracyn Keagle, led the tour for our students and shared on the student panel. Although the weather was crummy, the visit was exceptional and got the eighth graders fired up for their future.
Basketball season is just around the corner. Happy Shopping!

Last week, Miller and Theodyn showed off their Other People Mindset of knowing how their words and actions impact others! Great work Trojans!

On Tuesday, October 20th, 40 students from Wakefield Community Schools attended the Northeast Nebraska Career Day for Sophomores at Wayne State College. The University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension once again partnered with Wayne State College, the Northern Nebraska Area Health Education Center, and Northeast Community College to provide Career Day for sophomore students in northeast Nebraska. Almost 1,000 sophomores from 38 different schools attended.
Sophomore students attended four 30-minute career sessions in various campus buildings. Students chose to attend four out of the 55 career sessions offered or to attend one of the two health/medical career tracks. Some of the career sessions included coaching, veterinary, law enforcement, photography, agriculture, teaching, music, and interior design. All the students enjoyed lunch (and ice cream!) at Wayne State College's cafeteria. In the afternoon, all students attended two breakout sessions designed to help them prepare for life after high school. There were twenty-three different Breakout Sessions from which to choose. Students left Wayne State College with a better understanding of potential job opportunities, how to set goals and achieve them, the benefits of job shadowing, and more. It was a great experience for all students.
