On Wed., May 10th we have the Incoming 5th Grade Parent Night here at Kennedy. This year we are trying out something new and inviting the 4th graders to come as well to participate in some fun team building activities. We are looking for Peer Leaders to volunteer this night to help greet parents and run these activities with the 4th graders.
If you are available 5/10 from 6:15 - 8pm and would like to volunteer please reply back to Mrs. MacDonald's email! (Do not reply all.)

We have a very exciting volunteer opportunity to present to you!
We have been asked by Crossroads (a school for children on the Autism spectrum) for volunteers to partner with 13 of their students at the Special Olympics at Natick High School on June 7th (rain date of June 9th). We are looking for 13 students to help during the training sessions on the dates listed below and then to attend the Special Olympics. A bus will be provided to and from and an adviser will be there with you. I need to give the names of the Peer Leaders to the organizer (Mrs. Chakiris- school pyschologist at KMS) by the end of the week. Parents will be contacted to get permission and teachers will need to be notified of the class time you will be missing. You will be responsible for all classwork missed during the training sessions and during the Special Olympics. The training sessions will take place during Period 7 on May 5, May 19, May 26 and June 2nd. Training sessions will take place on the back field at Kennedy. Please email Mrs. Dwyer back ASAP if you are interested and I will pass along your name to Mrs. Chakiris. This should be a very exciting opportunity for you and for the students you will partner with! Please seriously consider participating. As you know, today was the start of Kindness Week 2017 which will run through Friday. As not all of you were at our last leadership meeting, here is a breakdown of what will be taking place this week. Some of you are already involved in helping out with something, but if you aren't and if you are able to help with any one of these events, please see the advisor running the event.
