KENNEDY CONNECTION 11/21

Dear Kennedy Families,

As we head into Thanksgiving week, we want to pause and share our gratitude for the incredible Kennedy community. Every day, your children remind us why our work matters—they bring curiosity, joy, kindness, and laughter into our classrooms, and we are truly thankful for the partnership we share with each of you.

You’ll see photos from each grade level highlighting moments of learning, teamwork, and relationship-building. These snapshots capture what we value most at Kennedy: students who feel known, cared for, and supported by the adults around them.

We are grateful for our staff, who bring their best to students each day; for our families, who support learning at home and trust us with their children; and, most of all, for our students, who make Kennedy such a special place to learn and grow.

Thank you for being part of our Kennedy community. We wish you a restful Thanksgiving break with your loved ones.

With gratitude,
Mr. Latch
Kennedy Principal

BOOZHOO! (HELLO!)

I'm Cyan Peacock-Hale, the new Native American Liaison for Hasting Public Schools! I'm here to help bring more Indigenous culture, voices, and traditions into our schools - from art and music to community events that show how beautiful and alive our culture is.

Fun fact about me: I wasn't named after the color - I was actually named after a character from the comic book Spawn!

I'm really excited to get to know all of you and help make our schools a place where everyone feels seen, supported, and proud of who they are. Miigwech!

 WORK WITH US

Hastings Public Schools continues to have a variety of positions available across the district!

If you or someone you know is interested in joining our team and supporting the important work happening in our schools, please visit the district website for current openings.
