Wakefield fifth grader Andrew Renz recently spearheaded a campaign that raised $873.25 for Smile Train, an organization that sends trained doctors to different countries to perform cleft palate surgery for free.

Renz was inspired to raise money from reading the fifth grade Literature book, Wonder, by R.J. Palacios. The main character in the book was born with extreme facial deformities.

With the support of his teachers, Andrew and his classmates organized a two-day bake sale that was held over six lunch periods to raise the money.
