Here's what our community is saying about WEF...

Dr. Kimberly J. Smith, Interim Principal at Wakefield Memorial High School:

"I am honored to serve the Wakefield High School community as interim principal for the 2009 – 2010 school year. As a teacher and administrator in this school and school district for 23 years, I have developed a tremendous love, loyalty, and commitment to Wakefield High School and to the children and families of this community. One of the educational initiatives that fills me with great pride is the Wakefield Educational Foundation. I remember well the first group of devoted parents, community members, and educators that brought the mission of WEF to life. That mission continues today, stronger than ever. The grants presented by the Wakefield Educational Foundation in 2008-2009 enriched our students' education in diverse ways: WEF provided support to the Winter Percussion Ensemble, the Culinary Arts Program, the WHS Newspaper, current events literature, Multi-Ethnic performances, and Performing and Visual Arts Day. The children of our schools continue to benefit from the dedication and commitment of the Wakefield Educational Foundation and we are grateful! "


Joan Landers, Superintendent:

"At this critical time in our education system's growth, Wakefield Educational Foundation provides our schools with necessary funding for enrichment programs for students in all grades. Their support to Wakefield Schools, since their inception in 1989, has been instrumental in enabling our school system to add and continue unique educational programs that enhance our children's learning and growth."


Deborah Collura, Principal at Walton and Greenwood Elementary Schools:

"As the principal of two very special and unique elementary school communities here in Wakefield, the grants that Wakefield Educational Foundation has funded within both schools, have been a significant support to our school and the staff's ability to offer creative and enriching classroom programs to their students. We are very grateful for WEF's support of our educational mission."
