Kennedy Middle School PTO

Dear Kennedy PTO Community,

I hope everyone is doing well during this trying time that our community and the world is facing. I am thankful for our Kennedy administrators, teachers, and staff that are doing so much to help our kids deal with distance learning that will now continue through April.

This is a good time to remember that we are a community and that we should support those in our community who may be in need.

It has been brought to my attention that a member of our community, Kennedy parent Rudy Aguilar, has contracted Covid19 and is in the hospital in critical condition. Please keep Rudy and family in your thoughts and if you can help financially, friends have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help the family.

Stay safe,
Roy Dorling
Kennedy PTO President

Estimada comunidad de Kennedy PTO,

Espero que todos estén bien durante este momento difícil que nuestra comunidad y el mundo enfrentan. Estoy agradecido por nuestros administradores, maestros y personal de Kennedy que están haciendo tanto para ayudar a nuestros hijos a lidiar con el aprendizaje a distancia que ahora continuará hasta abril.

Este es un buen momento para recordar que somos una comunidad y que debemos apoyar a aquellos en nuestra comunidad que puedan estar necesitados.

Me ha llamado la atención que un miembro de nuestra comunidad, el padre de Kennedy, Rudy Aguilar, ha contratado a Covid19 y está en el hospital en estado crítico. Mantenga a Rudy y a su familia en sus pensamientos y, si puede ayudar financieramente, los amigos han establecido una campaña de GoFundMe para ayudar a la familia.

Mantenerse a salvo,
Roy Dorling
Presidente de la PTO de Kennedy

Please save the date for the 2nd Annual Kennedy Color Run: Friday, May 8th during 7th period. The Color Run is a fun walk/jog-a-thon type event with color stations throughout the course. It is FREE for all students who would like to participate, so long as we have a signed waiver on file (look for those in early April and please note that we will NOT be able to accept permission by phone).

We are looking for sponsors to help offset the costs associated with this event and this is a great way for your business to reach our wonderful community! As a sponsor of the 2nd Annual Kennedy Color Run, your generosity will be shared with students, family, school faculty, and community members. Benefits of sponsorship are largely determined by level, but all sponsors receive visibility in event signage and on our dedicated event webpage. Please visit the PTO website for more information and to see a highlight video from last year’s event:
