JFK Updates
Despite the frozen precipitation, it is indeed spring which means it's time for the Theatre Workshop play! This year's comedy is titled "Haphazardly Ever After", about a king and queen who try a myriad of ways to finally shoo their flock of rambunctious "children" out of the palace nest, including a DIY fairy tale kit from Enchanted Depot. Join us for our performance at 6:30 on Thursday April 30 in the JFK Cafetorium for a fun family night out!
Be a part of Art! We are designing and installing a large student driven mural on the outside wall of JFK in the next 3-4 weeks. This mural is being funded by grants from NEF, the Northampton Arts Council, and the Northampton Prevention Coalition. The mural project leader is Heather Berlin with Mrs. Mallory. Students have been working after school on designs, and it will be painted over the April break. Flyer for April Break Mural camp, more info at jfkcommunitymural.blogspot.com
