During Principal, Vice Principal, and Dean Appreciation Week, please join us in celebrating Beth Anderson and the incredible impact she makes at JFK every single day.

Beth’s dedication is evident in everything she does. She is often the first to arrive and the last to leave, always putting our students first and continually looking for ways to make their school experience better. Her compassion, unwavering commitment, and genuine care for our students and staff do not go unnoticed.

Beth, we are so grateful for all you do and feel incredibly fortunate to have you as part of our JFK family. Thank you for making a difference every day! ❤️

On Wednesday in Art class, Mrs. Steinhoff’s kindergarten students created little monsters with different emotions. They first practiced showing different feelings in the mirror (surprise, joy, anger) and then created 4 creatures with different emotions. Great work, artists!!

Today, JFK was the lucky recipient of a Lifetime Foundation Grant that gives us bikes through the All Kids Bike Program. The All Kids Bike Kindergarten is a PE Learn-to-Ride Program that launched in 2018 with a simple mission: to give every child in America the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike in school. It's such a cool program!

We received a classroom set of 24 strider balance to pedal bikes. We made the entire Kindergarten class part of the assembly and surprised them with the bikes.

We are so grateful to the All Kids Bike program as well as the folks from Lifetime Lakeville who came out to build bikes and support the program.
