Last week, Kennedy Elementary celebrated Autism Acceptance Month throughout the week. The week concluded with our amazing "Bubbles for Autism Assembly." We had a blast seeing our students decked out in comfy clothes and joining in the bubbly fun!
This event was a wonderful reminder of the importance of inclusivity and celebrating our incredible neurodiversity. We're so proud of our Kennedy community! #AutismAcceptanceMonth #KennedyCares #BubblesForAutism






Kennedy School celebrated Autism Acceptance wearing spirit gear and engaging in different activities each day. These included tie dye day, comfy clothes day and the blowing bubbles party, to name a few. The students enjoyed participating and learned the importance of acceptance.




Kennedy School welcomes guest author, David Adler. Mr. Adler shared what inspired him to write and how students can begin their own journey to becoming an author.


CONGRATULATIONS TO THE JFK TIGER BUCKS WINNERS!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Happy Easter from the JFK school community. We hope all families celebrating today enjoy their day!
