Huge shoutout to 7 Brew Coffee for absolutely coming through for our staff today ☕️💙

Every single staff member got their own drink, and let’s just say the energy in the building instantly improved. Between the colorful refreshers, iced coffees, and surprise treats, our team felt very appreciated today.

They’re opening their first Madison location this summer on the east side off Lien Road — and fun fact: it’s also their first multi-story location ever. Excited to welcome another business investing in our community and supporting local schools along the way.

Safe to say Kennedy staff already has some favorites picked out 👀

First year of Book Ambassadors was one for the books 📚🐾

Watching students take ownership, show leadership, and get genuinely excited about books was such a highlight this year. So proud of these Cougars for helping “let learning happen” in such a meaningful way. 💙💛

Huge thank you to the staff and community partners who helped make this program possible. Already excited for year two!

Madison East Side Bowling League is officially wrapped up! 🎳

One of the best parts of Kennedy is the people. We work hard together during the school day, but we also genuinely enjoy spending time together outside the building too. Grateful for a staff culture built on connection, laughter, and community. 💙

Want to join a team that feels like this? We’re hiring! Come be part of the Cougar family.

“Welcome campers” might be the cutest library theme ever 🏕️📚

This week our Cougars are camping out during library class! Students are reading in tents, gathering around the “campfire” for stories, and turning the library into an adventure-filled reading experience.

Creating joyful spaces for kids to fall in love with books matters. Huge shoutout to Ms. Graham for making reading magical ✨

Our 4th grade Cougars wrapped up their American Revolution unit by putting on plays for families and staff! 🇺🇸🎭 Students brought history to life through acting, teamwork, creativity, and public speaking while showing off all they learned throughout the unit.

From costumes and props to scripts and performances, our students truly let learning happen. We are so proud of the confidence, collaboration, and hard work they demonstrated. Great job, Cougars! ❤️🐾
