Mrs. Kaufman’s class (or Preschool if you wait and post all together later) enjoyed books and buddies today!
📚 We read the book “How the Crayons Saved the School,” went on a color scavenger hunt, worked with playdough and our names, and had ice cream with brownies and colorful sprinkles!
A special thank you to NHS members for joining us and being a buddy for those who didn’t have one!

The 2025 Youth Salute presented by the Greater Omaha Council Bluffs Area Council on Youth Leadership recently announced an incredible local nomination. Griselda Zacarias Nicolas, a senior at Wakefield Community Schools, was selected as one of the Nebraska high school youth leaders. The Greater Omaha Council Bluffs Area Council on Youth Leadership was formed in 2018 to conduct the "Youth Salute" in nearby communities in cooperation with the National Council on Youth Leadership, a non-profit organization. Teachers, guidance counselors, and principals nominate students to apply to attend the Youth Salute event. In order to qualify, the student had to be a junior (senior class of 2025), have a 3.0 GPA or greater and have held at least two leadership roles to which they were chosen by their peers or an adult leader within the past two years in high school, religious or community sponsored organizations. Griselda Zacarias Nicolas was offered a $2,000/year scholarship to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln totaling $8,000 over the course of 4 years. Wakefield Community Schools is very proud to have senior Griselda Zacarias Nicolas representing as a "Top Youth Leader." Congratulations to Griselda!
