The Kenwood Courier
Thank you to the wonderful caregivers, volunteers, and Kenwood PTA for the truly delightful Staff Appreciation Lunch! The Mac and Cheese Bar was an absolute hit - so creamy and flavorful, and the barbecue chicken? Oh my goodness, it was delicious! The refreshing salads and the perfect touch of sweets, along with the drinks, were so greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for organizing such a fantastic and delicious lunch for all of us. We truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.
Our Kenwood Staff and School in general are so fortunate to be supported by the passion and commitment of our incredible volunteers! From making memorable events to supporting our students during lunchtime, recess time, and providing essential resources, your contributions make all the difference.
Join us on Friday, April 25th at 9:50 to enjoy some poetry readings at All School Morning Meeting, then swing by the Atrium for a cup of coffee and some treats! Thank you for making our school such a great place to learn and grow!
