Congratulations on the completion of the 2018-2019 school year! 
 
It’s hard to believe the year has come to an end. Please accept our thanks for all the wonderful experiences you provided the children this year.
 
Thank you for always making our Kubbies feel loved, safe, happy and for nurturing their growth. We are confident the children will never forget how you made them feel 🙂 
 
We look forward to our continued work together next year and we are confident that our collective staff will continue to keep our eyes on the children and support each other! 
 
We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish this year and look forward to what we can continue to do for the children of Kennedy School….together! 
 
Have a wonderful summer. Enjoy your time with those you love. You certainly deserve it! Here’s a great blog post from George Couros…3 Reminders for the End of the School Year
We challenge you to reflect on 4 questions as you head into summer break:
  1. What did I do well this year?
  2. Where do I need to grow?
  3. What things will I challenge myself with next year?
  4. How will all of these answers impact the learners I serve?

FINAL THOUGHTS…….

“Just know that, even if nobody said “Thank You,” today, there’s a kid somewhere who loves you, who appreciates you, and who is wondering about something because of something you said in your classroom. Right now there might be a parent who thinks you are the best thing under the sun because you might be the very first person who has understood her child. There’s an administrator who is grateful to have you on staff at your school. At this very moment, there is a student close to graduating high school who found a photo from your classroom that she has saved all these years because you were her favorite. Tonight, a colleague of yours will go home with a smile because something you took the time to say today. One of your students that pretends not to care about his work will be working extra hard tonight, because he wants to show you he can do it.

You’re appreciated. You matter to more kids than I can count on my fingers and toes, and your message to the world will travel well into the future in the hearts of kids who will grow up with dreams and passions that all started right where you are. In your classroom.

Just in case you forget.”
