Each honoree received a personalized card, printed on white linen stock, for each gift made in their honor.
Donors contribute not only to staff and teacher morale, but also directly into the WEF grant program which underwrites the cost of special programs, equipment or services to enhance the learning experience for students at all grade levels.
To support the grant process, WEF receives generous funding from key local business partners, private donors, and a series of annual fundraisers. WEF has awarded over $400,000 across the Wakefield Public Schools district since 1989.
