The 3rd & 8th grade buddy teams took their learning beyond the classroom last Friday—with a local adventure full of money tips, business smarts, and… 🍦ice cream!
First stop: Riley State Bank! 💰 Josh Martin shared how to start a business and why saving money is a big deal.
Then it was off to The Bomber Grind, where Neal Summerson gave students a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a local business. He even sent everyone off with an ice cream treat.
Huge thanks to these amazing community partners for making economics and life skills come alive. Wakefield is lucky to have you! 💙 #celebrate379

All USD 379 schools, including Wakefield 4th graders, are in the middle of prepping for state assessments. State assessments aren’t just tests—they’re tools that help us better support your child’s learning journey. Here's why they matter:
✅ Measure Growth: They show how much your child has learned and grown over the year.
✅ Support Success: The results help teachers tailor instruction to meet student needs.
✅ Inform Decisions: Data from assessments guide district decisions on resources and curriculum.
✅ Statewide Comparison: They help us see how our students are doing compared to others across Kansas.
We’re proud of our students and teachers, and these assessments help us celebrate their progress and identify where we can grow even stronger—together.
Thanks for partnering with us in helping every student succeed! 💙📈 #celebrate379
