COWBOY CORNER

Terrific Kids is a Kiwanis sponsored student recognition program that promotes positive attitudes, good character, and responsible citizenship. Each month teachers identify one student, from each class, who best exemplifies the particular characteristic for the month. Today, we recognized a group of kids for being Respectful during our morning assembly. At the assembly, Kennedy administration congratulated each student and presented them with a certificate, bumper sticker and pencil. Great job to our Respectful students at Kennedy!
