Spring Break always arrives at theΒ perfectΒ 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! Let’s have some fun these last days before Spring Break with a Spirit Week! (see below):
