Dear Kenwood Families,
Happy Friday! This past week we had much to celebrate as our quarter came to a close. We had our annual Cross Country race at Kenwood and our students, staff and many parents came out to cheer on our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade runners on our Kenwood cross country course. A huge thanks to Mr. Bicknell for helping to organize this event with the help of our specials teachers (Mrs. Giraldi, Ms. Heredia, Mrs. Leverenz and Mrs. Lehr). On Wednesday, we also celebrated our students during our Star assemblies. We recognized students from each class for the month of October. Star students were recognized for being respectful, caring, demonstrating hard work, showing what they know in their academics and model citizens. The Star students for the month of October are:
