Week 39: 06/05/23 – 06/07/23

Congratulations on the completion of the 2022-2023 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?

    Remember …. in these last days with your students….. take the time to tell your students what they mean to you! Ask each student to share their favorite memory. Share YOUR favorite memories with your class. Send a Kennedy Kubbie positive postcard and put it in the mail on the last day of school to wish them a great summer! Enjoy your last days….. it’s the happiest and saddest time, all in one. So while you’re crossing off those final items from your end-of-year TO DO list, remember to enjoy your final time together & make your end of the year count!

Keep in mind, the end of the year is not always happy for some of our students, whose only security and love comes from US. Thank you in advance for loving the students and reassuring them that we love them and can’t wait to see them again soon!

For those of you moving on to new adventures, remember that you’re only as good as your last exit…and for those of us returning, know that students remember the educators that we are the last week of school — so let’s make sure they remember the best of what we have to offer! Finish strong and wrap up the year with a beautiful bow! Have a wonderful week….and remember to be great for our Kubbies and each other.
