Northeast Nebraska Scholastic Contest
On Wednesday, March 27th, 22 Wakefield high schoolers participated in the prestigious Northeast Nebraska Scholastic Contest which included hundreds of other students from surrounding Class C and Class D schools. The 22 Wakefield students tested in 24 different subject areas ranging from topics related to the sciences, mathematics, history, English, welding, construction, wellness, etc. The 22 students were selected by their teachers to participate in this competition based on their advanced knowledge within their respective subjects; it is an honor simply to be selected to participate. The students who participated in the event were: Jordan Metzler, Ashlyn Boeckenhauer, Katie Borg, Lane Fischer, Isiah Villa, Timothy Kaufman, Bailey Kai, Sierra Kaufman, Jack Schlickbernd, Jackson Pommer, Jazmin Paredes, Jeremiah Reimers, McKinnley Mogus, Ashlyn Vazquez-Catalan, Adrian Flores, Alexia Weaver, Jaden Sievers, Jeremy Desmond, Quintin Beaty, Johnathan Birkley, Sam Chase, and Ashlyn Riewer. When students were not testing, they were able to enjoy a movie, games, snacks, and even karaoke. After lunch at Northeast Community College's cafeteria the results were announced at the award ceremony. Four Wakefield students earned awards. Jeremy Desmond was awarded 3rd place for the Basic Construction exam. Jeremiah Reimers was awarded 2nd place for the Geography exam. Ashlyn Boeckenhauer was awarded 1st place for the Medical Terminology exam. Timothy Kaufman was awarded 1st place for the Drafting exam. It was a great day with some of Wakefield Community Schools' best and brightest students.

On this Feel Good Friday, we take a moment to reflect on the remarkable career of Mr. Clay, an extraordinary social studies teacher who has dedicated an incredible 37 years to shaping the minds and hearts of countless students. His wall of senior photos clearly demonstrates the incredible impact he has had.
Mr. Clay isn't just a teacher; he's a legend, a mentor, and a friend to all who have had the privilege of walking through his classroom door. His passion for history is contagious. Beyond his exceptional teaching skills, Mr. Clay's impact extends far beyond the classroom walls. He is a pillar of the Wakefield community, known for his kindness, compassion, and positivity. Whether cheering them on at sporting events, guiding them through personal challenges, or simply lending a listening ear, he has touched countless lives and left a mark on the hearts of all who know him.
As Mr. Clay prepares to retire at the end of this year, Wakefield Community Schools is filled with mixed emotions. While we are sad to say goodbye to such an incredible educator, we are also immensely grateful for the decades of wisdom, inspiration, and guidance he has shared with us. His legacy will live on in the countless students and staff whose lives he has touched.
Thank you, Mr. Clay, for all the years you have dedicated. You will be dearly missed, but your impact will never be forgotten. Congrats on an extraordinary career and a well-deserved retirement!
