The first full week of the 2026–2027 school year is officially in the books! We are incredibly grateful for the patience, grace, flexibility, understanding, and perseverance you’ve shown as we’ve kicked off this new year together.

It has been so heartwarming to see the connections you’re already building with students, the support you’re providing to families, and the care you continue to show one another. You are creating a Kennedy community where our Kubbies feel safe, loved, supported, and excited to come to school each day!

Kim, Stacey, and I believe in you, and we want you to know just how VALUED and APPRECIATED you are. Every day, you make a difference in the lives of our Kubbies by loving them, challenging them, encouraging them, and helping them grow. We are so lucky to be on this team with you!.

BRAVO to you all!
