Celebrating our Preschool Friends 🌈 💚

On Tuesday, April 8th, 41 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. The Wakefield School Counseling Department organized this visit as an effort to encourage students at a young age to begin thinking about their post-secondary 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 recruiters 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 grouped and toured the campus. Students could check out the dorms, the student center, and various lecture halls and labs. Finally, the students ate a delicious lunch at NECC's cafeteria. It was an educational day that got the students fired up for their future.

March Spotlight on Strengths!
We’re thrilled to celebrate some of our amazing Wakefield staff who embody the strengths of Love and Humility every day! Here’s what makes them shine:
Mrs. Carroll (7-12 Math Teacher): Humble and awesome! One student summed it up perfectly: "She’s great at her job, but she doesn’t brag about it." Mrs. Carroll’s steady support and positive energy have made a lasting impact on students for years. We’re so lucky to have her!
Mr. Brenn (7-12 Principal): A leader who cares. Students recognized him for his humility, and it’s clear he puts their needs first.
Mrs. Smith (Middle School EL Teacher): The heart of the school! She consistently goes the extra mile for her students, showing love and dedication that make Wakefield a better place.
Mrs. Zach (District Programs Administrator, not pictured): A true advocate for her students! Whether it’s securing a bike, glasses, or winter gear, Mrs. Zach ensures every student has what they need to thrive.
Let’s give these outstanding educators a big round of applause!
