Spring Break always arrives at the perfect time of the year! As we head into the final five days of school prior to break, I’m hopeful that students & staff will take full advantage of their time away from Kennedy. For some, it will give them time to recover from feeling under the weather, and for others, it is time to spend with family & friends. Regardless of how you plan on spending the break, I hope you soak up every single second and come back re-energized for the home stretch!

Have a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break! Safe travels for those of you who are flying or taking a road trip. We look forward to seeing everyone on April 4th! Let’s have a great spirit week as we have fun learning this last week before Spring Break!

It’s Seuss Week! While it looks different this year, we’re still going to make it amazing for our students! Thanks to Amanda for putting together our spirit week line-up and sharing Instagram images we can all post & share with parents! Each day, be sure to pick up the giveaways/trinkets in your mailbox to send home with students! Also, remember to sign up to bring your students to the media center and read your students a story in that setting! Amanda will distribute a new Dr. Seuss book to each homebase teacher — raffle it off to a student in your class! And remember to check out last year’s website and share it with families.
