A Season of Giving
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
Happy Holidays to parents and students at the Freeman-Kennedy School. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the "Season of Giving." All of your generous donations will bring huge smiles to many families within our community. As we all continue to prepare for the upcoming holiday it is important to reflect on what makes this season so special and what each of us are thankful in our lives. I am very thankful for the wonderful staff and students that fills our new school every day. I am also thankful for the parents that support us in numerous ways to keep our school filled with enriching opportunities that connect to curriculum. As a school community we are very grateful to the town of Norfolk for making education a priority. We love our new school!
I wish everyone a joyous holiday season with family and friends. There are many traditions that make the holidays special. May your family traditions create lasting memories that are filled with laughter and joy. I wish everyone a happy healthy New Year!
