My name is Gracia Melendez, and I serve as the Class Sponsor for the Wakefield High School Class of 2029 Student Government Association.
I am excited to share that our class has been approved to host a fundraiser with Kendra Scott, which we hope will be our largest fundraising event of the year. We would greatly appreciate the PTA’s support in helping us share this opportunity with our school community.
The event will take place on Saturday, April 25th from 12:00–2:00 PM. We would love families to come out, meet our SGA 2029 members, and support our class through their purchases. In addition, we have a custom Wakefield necklace designed specifically for this event, which makes for a perfect gift with Mother’s Day weekend approaching.
Warm regards,
Ms. Gracia Maria Melendez Jimenez
Administrative Assistant for Jessica Salvador
