In a world where instant gratification is the norm, where young people are increasingly left devoid of long term challenges, Wakefield School’s Athletic Department tries to provide a venue for learning.
In this classroom the individual is subject to the group, individual goals subjugated to the goals of the team, sacrifice is the expectation, hard work and determination over the course of several months is the common experience and the outcome of each day and even the entire season cannot be guaranteed.
In this class one cannot ensure success by eliminating failure. I ask you if a child can learn a more important lesson in a safer environment. Thank you for supporting the Wakefield Fighting Owls as we strive to show our student athletes that the best way is almost never the easy way.
Tough, Intelligent, Hard Working-WAKEFIELD SCHOOL- It’s What We Do.
