Kennedy Families,

I hope that you have enjoyed a relaxing and enjoyable summer! School will be here soon but please take time to enjoy the month of August.

The 2023-2024 school year at Kennedy was great. It was another awesome year with students developing great friendships, experiencing incredible academic growth and raised test scores. The 2024-2025 school year is almost here and we can't wait to make it the best year ever at Kennedy!

Parents, this newsletter has important information and dates for the upcoming school year. You will receive another newsletter this month from me with even more back to school details. If you have questions after reading this newsletter, please feel free to email me.

Enjoy the remainder of the summer! It's Great to be a Cub!
