Wakefield Community School

The 2025 Youth Salute presented by the Greater Omaha Council Bluffs Area Council on Youth Leadership recently announced an incredible local nomination. Griselda Zacarias Nicolas, a senior at Wakefield Community Schools, was selected as one of the Nebraska high school youth leaders. The Greater Omaha Council Bluffs Area Council on Youth Leadership was formed in 2018 to conduct the "Youth Salute" in nearby communities in cooperation with the National Council on Youth Leadership, a non-profit organization. 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. Griselda Zacarias Nicolas was offered a $2,000/year scholarship to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln totaling $8,000 over the course of 4 years. Wakefield Community Schools is very proud to have senior Griselda Zacarias Nicolas representing as a "Top Youth Leader." Congratulations to Griselda!

On Thursday, October 31st, eight SkillsUSA members volunteered to help out our local CVA for the CVA Farmer's Tailgate. These students worked hard to pack up and hand out meals to farmers weighing in at CVA. US92 Radio was also broadcasting this event and a few SkillsUSA members were interviewed about SkillsUSA and also plans after graduation. We want to thank CVA for the opportunity to help out, for the in-depth tour of the local CVA facility after the tailgate, and for information about future career opportunities.
