PTO Updates

Superintendent Survey Re MCAS vs PARCC is on the web, and needs to be done before December 10^th, as that is when he will present his recommendation to the School Committee.

PTO meeting is Monday Dec 6^th at 6 pm in the JFK Library. The agenda is on the blog. All are welcome to participate and get information.

The directories went home a few weeks ago.  Please donate to the JFK PTO to support the directories, teacher grants, technology donations, and community events.   You can send your donation in to your child's homeroom teacher in the envelope the directories came in.  If you need another directory, you can stop in the main office and they have extras. 

Please remember to send in your Florence Savings Bank Ballots or vote in line for easy, no cost to you donations. Every account can vote - Kids, too!

We hope you are shopping locally, but if you do need something from Amazon, you can benefit JFK at no cost to you though the Amazon smile program. When you shop at Amazon Smile, Amazon donates 0.5% of the purchase price to Parent-Teacher Organization Of John F Kennedy Middle School Inc.

Thanks to all for supporting the scholastic book fair and the After school holiday Fair.  The book fair profits are all taken in books for the school.
