Today was National Fun at Work Day. JFK staff celebrated by dressing up in outfits that show what they like to do for fun. Gardening, running, watching TV, sewing, coaching--staff have a variety of ways of unwinding after a day at school!


We are always in need of extra sweatpants and leggings!


We are proud of what we are doing to help students SOAR at JFK. Take a few moments to watch this video to see the highlights of how we have introduced this system that is recognizing positive behaviors in the moment to help all students feel successful at school.

Students have been SOAR-ing this month as they learned and practiced what it means to be Safe, On-Task, Always Kind, and Respectful at school. We SOAR-ed right past our goal of 700 SOAR slips, so we will celebrate with a PJ Day on Tuesday, January 31st!


Our building is SOAR-ing! Here are some of the displays that have been put in halls and on doors that reflect how our JFK Eagles SOAR!

Third graders spent the last day before winter break building and decorating candy houses! This is another JFK tradition that goes back many years--the students construct the houses with graham crackers, cover it in frosting, and decorate to their heart's content.
Here are some more 3rd graders working hard on their candy houses!
