Kennedy Sunday Newsletter
Dear Kennedy High School Families and Community,
I want to express my sincere gratitude to the many parents who attended the first session of our LCAP process last Thursday evening. Your presence and active participation are invaluable to our school. I am continually impressed by the dedication and tireless work of our parent community, and I am so grateful for your continued involvement in Kennedy High School. Your support is essential to our mission of providing the best possible education for all our students.
It was wonderful to see so many of our Kennedy Fighting Irish students braving the cold on Saturday night to attend the Winter Formal at the Bowers Museum. These incredible extracurricular events are made possible by the hard work and dedication of our amazing ASB. Thank you to them for creating such memorable experiences for our students.
Speaking of student leadership, this Thursday, February 13th, during Advisement, we will be holding elections for the 2025-26 ASB! This year's student leaders have done an outstanding job, and next year's group has big shoes to fill. I'm excited to see the passion and commitment of our students as they step up to lead.
Get ready for an exciting week of CIF matchups! On Wednesday, 12/12, Girls’ Soccer will travel to Valley View in Moreno Valley, with the game likely kicking off at 5 PM, while Boys’ Basketball heads to Capo Valley Christian for a 7 PM tip-off. Then on Thursday, 12/13, Boys’ Soccer will take on Geffen Academy (UCLA) at home at 3 PM, followed by Girls’ Basketball facing Lucerne Valley (Hesperia) at 7 PM. We encourage you to come out and support our Fighting Irish athletes! As a reminder, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) has a code of conduct for spectators at athletic events. We ask that all attendees display good sportsmanship and respect for all participants, including players, coaches, officials, and other spectators. Let's show our Fighting Irish pride in a positive and supportive way!
Finally, I’d like to remind you that there will be no school on Monday, February 10th, in observance of President Abraham Lincoln's birthday. In honor of his legacy, I'd like to share one of his famous quotes: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” May we all be inspired to create a bright future for ourselves and our students.
Thank you again for your continued and consistent support of Kennedy High School.
Sincerely,
Poppy Hill-Bonales
Proud Principal, Kennedy High School
