Principal e-Note
Kennerly Elementary School
Good morning, Kennerly Families,
We had a wonderful FIVE DAY week of learning at school and finally got outside for outdoor recess on the blacktop area after some snow/ice melting occurred. That was a celebration for sure!
A few reminders:
Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the winter weather. We will continue to enjoy outdoor recess as long as the real feel temperature is 20 degrees or higher.
Please be sure to write your child's name on their winter items (coat, gloves, scarfs, etc)
As always, our staff is here to support you and your child. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your partnership and stay safe.
Sharing the Love of Reading!
We love when our older students share their passion for reading with our younger students! What a great job of role modeling! Way to go!

Our 5th Graders were Super excited for the upcoming opportunity for middle school band at Sperreng! Mr. Wyss always brings the energy!
