Wakefield hosted the Wakefield One Act Festival on Saturday, November 23. Since this was the first year, 5 schools participated in the event: Allen, Emerson-Hubbard, Laurel Concord Coleridge, Wynot, and Wakefield. It was an amazing day and Wakefield had 2 students that earned outstanding actor recognition: McKinnley Mogus and Sawyer Brudigam.
Mrs. Kaufman’s class (or Preschool if you wait and post all together later) enjoyed books and buddies today!
📚 We read the book “How the Crayons Saved the School,” went on a color scavenger hunt, worked with playdough and our names, and had ice cream with brownies and colorful sprinkles!
A special thank you to NHS members for joining us and being a buddy for those who didn’t have one!

The 2025 Youth Salute presented by the Greater Omaha Council Bluffs Area Council on Youth Leadership recently announced an incredible local nomination.

Teachers, guidance counselors, and principals nominate students to apply to attend the Youth Salute event. In order to qualify, the student had to be a junior (senior class of 2025), have a 3.0 GPA or greater and have held at least two leadership roles to which they were chosen by their peers or an adult leader within the past two years in high school, religious or community sponsored organizations.
