Q: What are your post-graduation plans?

I will be attending MATC for two years and then transferring to UW-Madison for nursing that way I can use my PEOPLE scholarship!

Q: What advice do you have for incoming 9th grade students?

Enjoy yourself, have fun, but stay focused and resilient as you will face hardships and obstacles along the way. Never forget how much you can achieve if you apply yourself.

    Kennedy Elementary school recognizes the crucial role our school bus drivers play in our overall success. The staff and students put together gift bags for each of them, including notes and cards from students, and delivered them to their drivers. Thank you, bus drivers and attendants!
