Farewell...
I want to thank the entire Kennedy Community School community for the past ten years! As Talent Development Specialist and Young Scholars Specialist, I partnered with staff, parents and community to support students in reaching their full potential. I worked with teachers to provide differentiated opportunities and programming to meet the educational, social and emotional needs of students who demonstrated high achievement or potential ability. My goal was to provide challenging and supportive educational experiences and environments for all students.
In addition, I provided school wide enrichment activities for all students in kindergarten through fifth grade. These STEAM activities provided all students opportunities to use higher level thinking skills in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. The students used their growth mindset for they needed to use a lot of persistence while collaborating with other students to design and adapt solutions within the STEAM activities. I hope all students and their families know how much I valued the experiences I had with the many children I taught. Always remember to think deeply, work cooperatively and explore creatively.

I am continuing my adventures in Arizona. My husband and I plan to relocate to Arizona at the end of June. We will miss this wonderful community but we know we have many exciting adventures ahead of us!
