Message from our PTO President

Hello, Kennedy Community!

Thank you to those who joined us for last month’s PTO meeting. I’m excited to share that the PTO voted to financially support Women’s Mentor Day and Career Day which benefited all KMS 8th graders! Kudos to our Kennedy administrators and staff for planning and executing such a memorable day of speakers and activities. It was amazing!

Because of our community’s generous monetary donations throughout the year, the PTO is able to directly serve our students by supporting electives, as well as new events like Mentor Day and Career Day and expanded experiential learning. For example, 6th-grade science teachers are now able to purchase extra STEM supplies like frogs and worms (metabolism unit), strawberries (genetics unit), foam, felt, and foil (thermal energy unit). All of these hands-on science activities will enhance experiential learning in the classroom and the students have lots of fun in the process.

The PTO will also take special care of our teachers and staff during conference week by providing lunch and sweet treats for them. Their hard work and dedication to our students is truly appreciated.

As we head toward spring and the final trimester of this school year, keep those donations coming! Remember no amount is too small and all funds directly support KMS students, faculty, and staff. If you are able, DONATE HERE! Donate – KMS PTO

Another way to become involved in ensuring the success of Kennedy students and others throughout RCSD is to apply to join the Measure U Citizens’ Oversight Committee. This committee oversees the expenditure of parcel tax proceeds by the school district. Check out this link for more information:

Finally, please mark your calendars for the March PTO meeting on Tuesday, March 26, from 7:00-8:30 pm. We will meet in person at the KMS Library. We hope to see you there!

Message from our PTO President

Hello, Kennedy Community!

I’d like to challenge you to flex your empathy muscles … Did you know that some of our Kennedy teachers work two jobs to make ends meet and pay their rent?

Did you know that some of our Kennedy staff have recently moved to the US, leaving their families and children in their home countries, unsure when they will see them again? Did you know that there are approximately 30 of our students and their families who are unhoused? And over 30 families new to our country?

During this season of giving, there are many ways you can directly support ALL of our Kennedy Cougars – students, teachers, and staff!

  • Donate directly to our PTO using this link: https://kennedycougarspto.org/donate.
  • Double your donation impact by using a matching program through your workplace.
  • Stop by the KMS front office to choose a tag from the Christmas tree with items for families in need. Purchase, wrap, label the item and return it to the office by Dec. 18!
  • If you can’t stop by the office, click this link to help the Family Center with donations: Kennedy Holiday Gifts
  • Purchase an item on Kennedy’s Amazon wishlist to support our Music, Drama, Art and STEAM electives: KMS Wishlist

Volunteer Opportunities: Please support our students and teachers!

  • The PzTO will have a table at the Red Morton Light Show on Monday, Dec. 18, from 6:00-8:00 pm. We’d like to do some fundraising. Contact info@kennedycougarspto.org with your ideas or to help staff our table.
  • Before winter break begins, the PTO will host a cookie buffet for our staff and teachers on Weds, Dec. 18. Here is the link to sign-up: Cookie Buffet

Finally, please mark your calendars for December 19 at 7:00 pm in the library for our in-person meeting. The theme is UGLY HOLIDAY SWEATERS! Everyone is invited to join us for hot cocoa, a little PTO business, and lots of friendly fun.

Kind regards,

Jess Bryski

PTO President
