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.
WEF's WPS Calendar
Sales begin late August, annually.
The beautiful and informative calendar:
- Offers 16 months of planning
- Highlights key WPS events including holidays and early release days
- Includes the 6-day cycle
- Features student artwork selected from the annual Visual Art Show
Chocolate Rose Sale
February 1-14, annually.
The Chocolate Rose Sale is our major fundraiser each year. The success of
this fundraiser determines the scope and amount of grants we can award to
the public schools in Wakefield. Roses will be available for purchase by
anyone in our community, are individually wrapped, and cost $1.00 each.
