The 1st grade class had a successful first trip to the Wakefield Public Library this morning. The elementary students look forward to visiting the library once each month.
We are just about three weeks from Election Day. We wanted to take a moment to share some more of the projects our sinking fund has allowed us to complete in recent years. Sinking fund money has been used for exterior lighting as well as interior and exterior doors. These projects have not only improved the look of our building, but also improved school security. Please vote on November 5th.

In addition to allowing our school to do some very noticeable improvements, sinking fund money also allows us to complete unexpected projects which aren't easily noticeable to students and the community. Although these projects may not be as visible, they are crucial to our daily operations. Some of these recent improvements include new water heaters, a new boiler, and repairs to our kitchen's freezer and refrigerator. Our proposed sinking fund will be able to be used for building projects, transportation, technology, and school safety. Please vote on November 5th.
Here is yet another project the school has completed with sinking fund revenue in recent years. The main office was moved to the first floor instead of the second. This has improved traffic flow in our building and improved school safety. The proposed millage on November 5th will allow us to continue improvements to our building, transportation, technology, and school safety.
Homecoming continues. Seventh graders with their class sweatshirts.
Homecoming Week continues! Today is pink day for high school!
Here is the ballot language for our upcoming sinking fund proposal. Please vote on November 5th!

The Wakefield-Marenisco School is proposing a millage of 1 mil ($1 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the November 5th ballot. The proposal is for a sinking fund. The sinking fund would be similar to the recently expired sinking fund. This sinking fund would be able to have funds used for school safety, technology, transportation, and building and grounds improvements. The recently expired sinking fund was only able to be used for building and grounds improvements. Over the next few weeks, we will post pictures of some of the projects the sinking fund was used for in the past. The first photo is of the press box on the athletic field.
New menu item at School. Grilled chicken Caesar salad.
Concession stand workers are needed. Please sign up to help support the athletic programs of the Wakefield-Marenisco School.
