Wakefield Marenisco School District

The Wakefield-Marenisco Honor Society is sponsoring a blood drive at the Wakefield Municipal Building on May 6 from 9:00-2:00.

WM had a total of 19 teams ranging from 8th grade to 12th grade attend the third annual Pi day competition held at GCC on April 14. Groups of three competed in a lightning round and challenge round, and there was also an opportunity for individual Pi digit memorization. A few students won gift cards to Kwik Trip during the Hoops for Health activity, and the team "Don't Drink and Derive" won for best name! It was overall a fantastic day!

Kids got to play on the Track field for lunch recess today. Beautiful day!!

3rd grade students listen to Mrs. Makela explain the peep scavenger hunt at their last library visit of the year!
