Book Fairs
Book Fairs
We host two book fairs each year. Sales from these fairs not only bring books into our homes, but free books into our schools. Over $25,000 in books to homes, classrooms, the library, and book cart...and counting.
Assembly Presenters
Assembly Presenters
We partner with Kennedy Elementary each year to pay for a professional presenter to talk with our children. Leadership talks, magicians, bullying awareness and other educational presentations would not be funded without your PTO.
Bike/Walk to School Day
Bike/Walk to School Day
Bike to school day in the fall, and Walk to school day in the spring. Each occasion gives The Kennedy PTO the chance to promote healthy snacking too. We make sure bananas, apples, pears, and anything else in season is waiting for our kids when they arrive to school on these special days. Without the PTO...NO FRUIT FOR YOU!
Birthday Book Cart
Birthday Book Cart
Teachers tell us how much kids appreciate getting a free book on the month of their birthday. Our volunteers love seeing the kids as they come to collect! It's not easy keeping our book cart filled with books, so if you are interested in helping us do it, let us know.
They may be small, but it's money the teacher doesn't have to spend out of their pocket. Classroom expenses, special projects, and all other expenses will be considered.
Teacher Appreciation
Teacher Appreciation
They know we love them, but this is our chance to really show we care! Teacher appreciation week is in May. We've brought in massage therapists, made them lunch, and paid for their state park passes. All small gestures for the great work they are doing. We only wish we could do more!
Healthy Snacks
Healthy Snacks
During testing days, our kids sometimes need a little boost. Snacks and fruit juice on testing days can help keep those young minds sharp and at their best.
4th Grade Field Trip
4th Grade Field Trip
All children coming through Kennedy Elementary school will eventually attend the 4th grade field trip. The teachers do a great job utilizing local resources to teach our children about the history of our state. The PTO ensures that this trip is free for all children and their families. $9/child adds up quickly.
Game Nights
Game Nights
Bingo in the spring, board games in the fall. Popcorn and refreshments for everyone and great prizes available for those who attend. You've got to play to win!!
