Today was an exciting day for our school! We found out this morning at an all-staff meeting that we were selected to be a National Blue Ribbon school for the 2013-2014 school year! WOW!! U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, recognized 286 schools as the 2013 cohort of National Blue Ribbon Schools, based on their overall academic excellence or their progress in improving student academic achievement.
In November, our principal, Mr. Wulf, and one teacher will travel to Washington, D.C. to accept our Blue Ribbon Reward from Arne Duncan. Following that trip, there will be a public reception here at school for everyone to attend to celebrate this accomplishment.
This is a HUGE honor for our school! I am so proud of our teachers, staff, and students for all of their hard work. This award is a true reflection of what we believe and stand for at Wakefield Elementary School. Our students and staff work hard to make sure every student is successful.
