Spirit Week!

Whew, what a week! Wednesday was Class Day, when we partnered with the 11th grade for a variety of activities, Thursday was PJammin' Day, out of uniform and into our PJ's as a fundraiser, and Friday was Red and White Day, with the ever popular (and loud) pep rally. Just to let everyone know, fifth grade had 100% participation for PJammin', and the entire lower school raised $204.00. Thank you. Thank you.

DEAR Reading


Monday, October 4, we had guest speakers from the American Childhood Cancer Organization and the Robert Duvall Children's Fund. We understand better now what we're reading for, as well as the link between reading at home and its impact in the larger world. PJammin' Day is our first tie-in event with DEAR reading. For a $1 donation, kids can wear their PJ's to school on Thursday, October 13, during Spirit Week.

Each One, Teach One

Once a month, we visit with the younger Wakefield students, each of us teaching and learning from the other.
