On Monday, April 26th, the seniors hit the road for an unforgettable school-sponsored field trip. The seniors took off for Thunder Road in Sioux Falls to enjoy a variety of activities. These activities included the 7D movie theater, laser tag, bowling, arcade games, and bumper cars. The day wrapped up with a special stop at Sidelines, where our seniors made their mark—literally—by signing the brand-new Wakefield High School graduates’ wall. As the countdown to graduation begins, we couldn’t be prouder of this incredible group. The future’s looking bright, Class of 2025—go shine!
