Wakefield Giving Day 

OWLS UNITE! On November 21, 2024, the entire Wakefield community will join together for Wakefield Giving Day, a 24-hour celebration of generosity and school spirit. Our goal: raise $100,000 to empower our talented teachers to deliver an exceptional education.

Giving Day contributions fuel our Annual Fund, which provides 11% of Wakefield’s operating budget. Your support powers the programs, experiences, and resources necessary for educational excellence—allowing Wakefield to achieve beyond what tuition alone can provide.
