DESK brings local elementary school children to campus each spring to create inspiring, colorful study spaces for students in their homes.
A longstanding campus tradition, DESK was started in 2004 in partnership with Old Town Elementary after two WFU students identified a lack of workspace in the homes of the children they were tutoring. Today it includes four participating schools – Old Town Elementary, Cook Literacy Model School, Kimberley Park Elementary, and North Hills Elementary. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Wake Forest University Freedom School, whose students are also encouraged to participate in this cherished campus tradition.
