WEF S.T.A.R.S.
School Teachers Are Really Special
Twice a year, in the fall and in the spring.
WEF’s focus on educational excellence is carried out in this popular program that enables anyone in the Wakefield community to recognize a special teacher, aide, specialist or office personnel by making a monetary donation on behalf of the "star" whom they feel helped their child achieve academic excellence or who created an exceptional environment in which their child could learn. This special person receives a lovely certificate of appreciation from the individual(s) who donated on their behalf.
