Service Opportunities

Our Kennerly "Kiwanis Kids Club" is again adopting American Heroes to support and celebrate throughout this school year.  They will be sending cards. letters and care package items at their next K-Kids meeting, Wednesday, Novemebr 28.  They will ship the items to our 2 American Heroes.  One of our American Heroes is older brother to Kennerly second graders, Thomas and Katelyn Shaffer.  Nick Lombardo will deploy to Afghanistan next month.
Our second American Hero is an Army Platoon Medic, Chris.  He lives in Massachusetts.  He left for Afghanistan in September.  Kennerly sisters, Jessica and Sophia Miller, shared his story.
Please send in any donations by Wednesday, November 28th. Our class will also be making cards for the packages.

Thank you!

Also, don't forget to keep track of the exceptional service that your child is doing this year. Forms can be printed from the Kennerly website.  Encourage your child to write down any service that they complete and we will put that in a box in the hallway.  One student will be drawn from the box each week to share their story of service on the Kennerly Morning Show. We would love to have some first graders showing service!!

Does anyone want to join me in ringing bells (and singing some holiday tunes) for the Salvation Army???

I am signed up to ring bells in front of Macy's at the South County Mall from 12:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. on Friday, Novemebr 23rd. I would love to have some of my first graders join me for any amount of time. What a great way to show service during the busy holiday season!  If you're interested, send me an e-mail or simply show up in front of Macy's at the Lindbergh entrance and dress for the weather....If you have an extra bell that would be great too! Of course, parents need to stay....
