JKE’s “In the Know”
What’s New and Happening at JKE and in the Community
Principal’s Message
Dear Families of JKE,
Another month has flown by and our JKE community continues to flourish. I’d like to take this opportunity to
thank our parent community for their continued support. We know that student success is a result of a
shared commitment between dedicated teachers and supportive parents. Together at James Kennedy we
continue to strive to build that relationship and we are grateful for our parent community.
Parents, thank you for celebrating our staff throughout Staff Appreciation Week, for volunteering on field
trips, providing hot lunch days and the fruit and vegetable program, supporting your children in their school
work, and for all you do to contribute to the positive relationship with our school. Please know that you are
appreciated!
With appreciation,
Lisa Lainchbury
Principal, École James Kennedy Elementary School

Elementary generously donated $524.99 for cancer research. 39 years ago,
determined to make a difference in the lives of those living with cancer, Terry
ignited a fundraising movement that cannot be stopped. Today, because of schools

Spring Carnival
Our Spring Carnival is coming up on Friday, May 10th from 6:00—9:00 pm. We are looking forward to another fun
night! Part of the night includes raffle baskets and we need your help making the raffle baskets amazing! Last year we
had $2000 worth of prizes. You can help in the following ways:
If you have a personal business you can donate your product or services.
You can approach the company that you work for and see if they would like to donate a basket.
If you have brand new items such as board games or toys that you would like to donate, we will gladly
make up a basket. Last year we had a family donate brand new bikes they weren’t going to use.
As a family, you can look at Pinterest or Google and see the fun baskets you can make up and donate.
Official donation request letters can be obtained by emailing Yvonne at jamesken-
nedypac@gmail.com. We need the prizes by Wednesday, April 17th but would
like to know as soon as possible if you plan to make a contribution so we can plan
accordingly.
Thank you,
JKE Spring Carnival Committee

home. The correct date to hand in donations is Wednesday, April 17th as noted above.
