Wrapping up 2025 with a Tiger Buck pull at Kennedy! These amazing cubs are set to impress in 2026!
What do you do when you get to the 67th day of school? Embrace the "6 -7" trend of course! Kennedy students and staff were decked out in their "6-7 "finest . The day wouldn't be complete without attending Kennedy Club 67 for a quick dance party before heading home!
We are so proud to celebrate the creativity and dedication of Ms. Mahon in our Physical Education program at Kennedy School! Her classroom recently transformed into an indoor ice skating rink that truly came to life, giving students a fun, imaginative, and memorable experience they will be talking about for a long time. Ms. Mahon’s innovative ideas and enthusiasm make learning an active, engaging, and joyful experience. Kennedy School students are fortunate to have such a creative and inspiring educator who always goes above and beyond for them!
Kennedy's first Tiger Tails Lesson was a complete success! Our 4th grade Leaders taught our Kindergarteners about starting new friendships. There were plenty of smiles to go around. It's never an easy task to lead a lesson but, these tigers did grrrrreat!
On 12/5/25 Kennedy had an extra special December Tiger Buck pull . The Tiger Buck pull was to commemorate the amazing achievement of our students and district staff of raising $2,816 for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. This fundraiser was hosted by the Kennedy student council with a CHOP Pajama Day. As a community, we believe in giving back to those who give so much to others and our Kennedy cubs are a shining example of doing good for others.
You can still hear the echoes of applause! The official ribbon-cutting ceremony for Kennedy's new playground took place on December 4th. Thank you to our amazing Board of Education Members and District Administrators that were in attendance for this spectacular day. We want to give an extra special thanks to our ceremony speakers Board of Education President, Mr. Cassio and Student Council Co-Presidents Alexis Chin and Radley Vega. We cannot thank everyone that helped complete the Kennedy School playground project enough!

We want to express our sincere gratitude again to the South Plainfield Police Resource Officers for visiting Kennedy School and sharing valuable safety information with our students. Their presentation on bike, Halloween and Internet & social media safety was informative and engaging. We appreciate their dedication to keeping our community safe.
