September Review Edition #KENNEDYBEST
Note from Mr. Rustad: Kennedy BEST Everyday!
Kennedy Families,
Our first month of the school year is in the books! It is has been great to have the students back in the classrooms. Teachers and students are building awesome relationships each day that they are together.
There have been some great things happening at Kennedy during this first month, especially the all school celebrations. Earlier in September we were able to have an assembly for K-2 students and one for 3-5 students. I did little research and found out that it had been 598 days between our last assembly in February of 2020 and our latest assemblies! Much has changed in our world during those 598 days but one thing has remained the same and that is greatness of Kennedy community. Bringing students together helps build our community and the family feel that we are so proud of at Kennedy.
Another great experience was the PTO fundraiser and Color Run. Our Cubs did a great job of raising money for our school and they were then able to celebrate with the school-wide Color Run. All of our students will all get a Kennedy Cubs t-shirt for their help in raising over $10,000! Thank you to all of the Kennedy families that helped our Cubs with fundraising! The PTO will put those funds to great use.
As we enter into October, we will continue to push our students to reach their academic potential and to be their Kennedy BEST everyday. Thank you so much for partnering with us. It's a great year to be a Cub!
Together We Are Kennedy!
