Dear JFK Families,

It has been a unique but great year! We made history and did it with faith and hope. I want to thank you all for the support and patience shown these past 10 months. We had successes and some challenges, yet despite it all, we continued in person instruction while keeping our children safe and meeting the educational needs of our students.

Together, we’ve learned much and shared experiences that will remain with us for years to come. The strength of our community and wholehearted passion make our school an outstanding place of education, religion and friendships. This is what makes JFK truly a special place.

There are countless groups of people to whom I owe an expression of gratitude to and hope we can continue working together in the coming years. Together we were able to keep the Covid bug at bay!

JFK students you were simply amazing. You recognized the importance of following the rules and followed them. You worked hard in your classes whether you were in class or online. You were kind to one another and acted like a true disciple of Jesus. Thank you!

Next, I would like to thank our teachers for their hard work and your commitment to the students. Our school is second to none! Thank you for providing a rich engaging and well-rounded experience for our kids. For knowing that education is about wonder and fostering curiosity, along with development of social skills which are necessary to succeed. For these, and a million other things, we are truly grateful.

Finally, to you the parents, thank you for having the faith and confidence in JFK Catholic School to provide a safe and excellent faith filled education to your children.

I wish you all a very happy, safe and enjoyable summer. Please be sure to take time as family to pray, talk, and read together. I look forward to seeing you on August 26th. To those of who are leaving us for new places, we wish you all the best!

Blessings,

Principal
