Dear Jaguars,
I want to update you on Homecoming and MAP testing.
Homecoming:
Next Monday Jefferson will run a special schedule and will have a Homecoming pep fest after period 2. Unfortunately you will need to be at Kennedy for period 3. ;( It will be broadcast via video to the 9th and 10th graders and I can try to get you the recording. On the bright side you won't need to leave class early or get to class late that day.
JHS Homecoming Schedule for Monday, 9/27
PERIOD 1 7:50 – 8:42
PERIOD 2 8:48 – 9:40
Get on the bus at JHS to come to KHS at 9:45 am.
Pep Fest (Turf Field) 9:50 – 10:16
PERIOD 3 10:22 – 11:14
PERIOD 4 11:20 – 12:12
Get on the bus at KHS @ 12 to come to come back to JHS for lunch.
3rd Lunch/Passing Time 12:12 – 12:42
MAP testing for 9th graders:
We are not allowed to test you at Kennedy even if you're classmates are taking the MAP tests during the DA class. So Mrs. Jarvis, the Assistant Principal, will invite you to take it during another class (probably p 5 or 6). Your parent can also opt you out of MAP testing. You will have work time while your Kennedy classmates are taking their MAP tests and then you'll rejoin with us when they are done and we'll continue learning together.
Take care and happy homecoming!

The Gifted and Talented department will take Nobel students to the History Theater on Thursday, February 22nd to see “A Crack in the Sky”. This will be its world premiere and it features two local playwrights, Harrison David Rivers and Ahmed Ismail Yusuf. The play is described as, “ From Somalia to the U.S.A. 1984. A young shepherd boy stands in front of his mother to tell her of the decision he has made in the night. He has had enough of the nomadic life, of herding goats and sheep, and is leaving to seek out a better life. With that, he sets off on an adventure that takes him on the road less traveled from Somalia to Minnesota. It’s the epic tale of Ahmed Ismail Yusuf who, inspired by Maya Angelou, discovers the power of the written word.” For more info go to: http://www.historytheatre.com/2017-2018/crack-in-the-sky We hope to use this experience to give students exposure to local authors. We plan to follow up on this field trip by me...
