I am Thrilled to lead the charge as we move forward into another fantastic school year. Our focus will be on providing each child with new challenges that will result in a rewarding school experience. Academic emphasis on the core content standards of language arts, science, math, and social studies will remain a priority as well as providing a learning program that builds on each year to reach local and state standards with the IEP goals as our road map. As always it is our desire to meet the needs of every student at John F. Kennedy School so that they can continue to grow and make progress in meeting academic standards and becoming well-rounded responsible citizens. Please feel free to stop by and introduce yourself if we have not had the opportunity to officially meet. For those of you that I have had the pleasure of meeting, please feel free to stop by and say hello. Please check our site frequently. We will be adding information often so that you are informed.

A team is not just a group of individuals who work at the same location or have the same logo on their school uniform. A real team is made up of people who may be unequal in experience, talent, or education, but who are equal in their commitment to working together to achieve the goals and good of the organization, each other and our students. True teamwork is the rarest, most exhilarating, and most productive human activity possible. One of our goals, at John F. Kennedy is to harness this incredible energy, but achieving such a level of motivation and esprit is not always easy, but it can be with your help. Thank you for visiting our site and when you do visit our building and walk our hallways, please consider joining our team.
