Kennedy High School PTA Meeting

Kennedy High School parents are invited to come out to support the PTA at its first meeting of the new school year. Attendees will hear from Principal Lorraine Poppe as well as from the PTA's executive board who will discuss upcoming events for the 2011-2012 school year and how parents can help.

PTA programs held throughout the year include Reflections, Defensive Driving, Community Service Fair, Senior Fashion Show and post-prom breakfast. In addition, each graduating senior receives a gift from the PTA as a memento of their high school experience. The PTA also makes monetary awards available to those students who qualify (PTA membership required). 

Parents are urged to support the PTA by becoming a member. Membership is only $15 per family, and parents can send their check, payable to John F. Kennedy PTA, to school with their child. Please include the following information with your check: parent/guardian name, email address and phone number and, for each child, student name, grade, first period room number and first period teacher name.
