WEF to honor WPS students, staff and volunteers at Celebration of Learning

Wakefield Educational Foundation (WEF) is pleased to announce that the 29th annual Celebration of Learning ceremony and reception will take place on Wednesday, April 16th at the Galvin Middle School Auditorium.  Award presentations will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m., immediately followed by a reception serving light refreshments in the cafeteria. 

No tickets are needed for this event, and all are welcome. Please bring a box of name-brand cereal like Cheerios, individual mac and cheese, brownies, or cake mixes to donate to the Wakefield Food Pantry. Bins will be conveniently located outside the cafeteria.  Many families in town rely on the Food Pantry for food supplies throughout the year, so please help us support them on this special evening.

If you are unable to attend in person, Wakefield Community Access Television (WCAT) will stream and record the event for viewing live, or at a future time.  Please visit wcatwakefield.org for viewing information.   

This ceremony is dedicated to honoring students, staff and volunteers who make Wakefield public schools great.  Honorees are nominated and selected through a collaborative process between WEF and each school and are chosen for consistently demonstrating the core values of their respective schools, and showing positive effort and attitude. 

WEF congratulates these remarkable members of our school community listed below.
