In 1929, the Wakefield school is built on Caves rd. in the heart of the village. Many generations have attended this school and have developed a fond affiliation that still exists in the hearts of the local population. This school represents many loving  memories…. and rightfully so.  Certain residents have expressed their opposition to the building of a new school on Riverside rd.????  Even if the old school was to be demolished and rebuilt , there are many obvious reasons that the school should be relocated. Yes the time has come to evolve and build a brand new school on Riverside rd. This initiative should be clarified, so all the facts of this positive project are brought to light.  Here are the facts :
