The first full week of the 25-26 school year is officially behind you! We are so grateful for your patience, grace, understanding, flexibility, and perseverance as we begin this new year together.

It is heartwarming to see how you’ve already connected with students, supported families, and cared for one another. You are making Kennedy a place where kids feel safe, loved, and excited to come back every day!

Kim, Stacey, and I believe in you and want you to know you are VALUED and APPRECIATED. Every day you make a positive impact on our Kubbies by loving them, challenging them, and helping them grow.
