Our talented students have been working hard to bring this story to life, and we would love to have you in the audience to support them!

"The Claw" tells the story of an out-of-order claw machine that turns back on for the first time in years. While most of the toys are ecstatic to finally be won and taken to a new home, one toy is held back by fear. It is a heartwarming story about whether that fear can be conquered with the support and encouragement of friends.

Kennedy School will be showing awareness and showing support for Rare Disease Day on February 26th.

Help raise awareness and show support by wearing the colors black and white to school.

Rare Disease Fact: A zebra is the symbol for rare disease because of their unique black and white stripes.

When: March 26, 2026 Time: 5:00-7:00 p.m. Where: Kennedy School

More information will be sent home with students mid-February!

Get ready for one of our favorite traditions! This event has historically been a massive fundraiser, but more importantly, it is a wonderful opportunity for our families and the local community to come together. Come socialize, enjoy some fantastic food, and help us raise funds to support the students of Kennedy School.

Double the Fun with Raffles!

In addition to a great meal, we have two exciting ways to win big:

• HUGE Basket Raffle: We will have a massive selection of themed baskets up for grabs.

• 50/50 Raffle: Try your luck and take home half the pot!

We can't wait to see the Kennedy community out in full force to support our kids and have a great time doing it.

If you have a child—or know a neighbor or friend with a child—who will be 4 years old by September 1, 2026, please help us spread the word!
