Veterans and Armed Forces Breakfast
Kennedy School is proudly hosting a Veterans and Armed Forces Breakfast on Tuesday, November 11th. This is our chance to thank and honor the incredible men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving our nation.
We're asking for your family's help!
Please invite a veteran or active armed forces member from your life—a relative, a neighbor, or a family friend—to be our honored guest for breakfast that morning. It's a special way for our students and community to show their gratitude.
Event Snapshot:
Date: Tuesday, November 11th
Guests: Veterans and Active Armed Forces Members (and a guest)
RSVP Deadline: October 30th
The Treat: Breakfast for the service member and their guest is completely covered by Kennedy School.
Kennedy Expectations for Cool Weather
As temperatures drop and we start seeing the possibility of snow soon, please help your student prepare for the cooler weather. We want all students to be comfortable and warm when they go outside for recess!
Please send your student to school with appropriate heavier or winter clothing items (jackets, hats, gloves, etc.). Now is also a great time to review our school's cool weather expectations with your student so they know how to stay safe and warm while playing outside.
Kennedy School Apparel Sale - - Ends on November 6th
