Dear Wakefield Forest Families,
As we enter the last six weeks of school, we are excited to be celebrating our amazing teachers and staff. We are grateful to the PTA and our families for recognizing our staff’s hard work.
We also have members of our community celebrating Eid al-Fitr this week. Eid al-Fitr begins at sunset May 2 and marks the end of Ramadan. It is a time of receptions and visits, when friends greet one another, presents are given, new clothes are worn, and the graves of relatives are visited. Eid Mubarek to those in our Muslim community celebrating!
Wakefield Forest was highlighted by WTOP yesterday for our work with Innovation Hour. We love sharing the amazing work of our students and staff. https://wtop.com/fairfax-county/2022/05/how-friday-innovation-hour-at-a-fairfax-co-elementary-school-has-boosted-student-initiative/
