JFK School Community,
Please see the below message from our JFK PTO:
The Penny Wars are coming! They will start on Monday, April, 22! Don't know what a Penny Way is? No problem, PTO's got you covered. It's a super fun way for us to raise money. Each house (Gr. 6 White, Gr. 7 Red, Gr. 8 Blue) will have a place to collect the money. All pennies, dollar coins, and bills are worth one point per cent. So a penny is one point, a dollar is 100, five dollars is 500, etc. Here's where the fun part comes in: you can sabotage the other houses. All silver coins, other than dollars, are subtracted from the total. So if your student is in White House, they bring in pennies and dollars to add to their total. Then, if they want, they can bring in silver coins and add them to the other houses' buckets. Say they bring in four quarters and put them in both Red and Blue House buckets. Red and Blue House would lose points. The grade with the most money raised will have a pizza party!
Thanks a bunch and have a great week.
Kathy Winnie

JFK School Community,
Good afternoon, we hope this email finds you well. We are writing to clarify information regarding our butter braid pick-up. In an attempt to offer a more accessible pick-up window for those who placed orders, we requested that the company (MCM Fundraising) deliver the butter braids earlier than originally scheduled. The company sent an email out to all customers who placed an order which communicated the delivery window was moved to an earlier date. This change in delivery day was intended for JFK PTO to receive the braids and be able to organize the order for a smooth pick-up. We did not know our request for an earlier delivery would trigger an email directly from MCM. Subsequently, this email created confusion and frustration – we apologize. To clarify, we are receiving orders tomorrow – they will be stored in our cafeteria freezers. We plan to hand small orders to students prior to dismissal (single orders). For larger orders, we will reach out to individuals to arrange a pick-up time. We will offer a two-day pick-up window (Wed. 3/27 & Thur. 3/28). We will coordinate schedules and have your order prepared prior to your arrival. We ask that you do not enter the bus pick-up loop from 1 pm to 3 pm as the dismissal process begins. Please pull around to the backside of the building (passing the auditorium). We will utilize the cafeteria's main entrance doors to coordinate orders (door #15). The map below clarifies the traffic flow and pick-up location.
If you pick your child up from school, at dismissal, we will bring your order to the main office side of the building for pick-up. You do not need to get out of your car, just please indicate that you are picking up your order and provide your last name.

This is a gentle reminder that we will administer our annual NAEP assessment to preselected grade 8 students tomorrow. This date was rescheduled due to our February 13 snow day. Students were reminded and will receive their test passes tomorrow morning. Please see the attached letter for more details.

Andrew Berrios, Ed.D.

* Traditionally, all clubs conclude at 3:15 pm; however, there are several clubs that are a little more involved (ex., drama, debate, etc.). These clubs will occasionally require more of a time commitment. If students involved with these clubs are requested to stay passed 3:15 pm, parents/guardians will be notified in a timely manner. ALL parent/guardian pick-ups will take place outside of the white wing entrance. This is located a little passed the main office entrance. Please follow the same traffic loop that we utilize for afternoon pick-ups.
