MESSAGE FROM MRS. KENNAUGH
I am still recuperating from the complications that arose
after my accident. Recovery has taken much longer than I
anticipated or had hoped; as such, I will continue to work
about four hours per day for the remainder of the school
year. Former Neff Elementary principal Ed Armstrong is
providing principal support through the last day of school.
I am hopelessly optimistic that I will be back to 100%
when we kick off the 2014-15 school year!

The students are getting anxious with the summertime
weather, however, we still have lots of teaching and
learning happening every day. Will you please remind
your child that our expectations are the same as they have
been all year in terms of work ethic, behavior, and dress
code?

As always, if you have any questions or would like to
discuss any concerns, please contact me.

ATTENTION PARENTS OF 6
TH
GRADERS
Sports Physicals will be offered here at the high school
in the gym downstairs on Wednesday, May 28, from 6-8
p.m. Please enter by the stairs at the pool entrance. Cost
is $25.00 cash and physicals will be valid for next school
year. All students (grades 7-12) trying out for a sport for
the 2014/15 school year must have a physical card on
file in the Athletic Office before practice begins.
Physicals must be dated April 15, 2014 or after to be
valid for this next school year. Students who do not take
advantage of physicals being offered at school are
responsible to make their own arrangements to have a
physical and turn the card into their coach or the Athletic
Office prior to the first practice.

Grade Recognition: To celebrate the end

casual ceremony will run from approximately

Pitch, a cappella group. Also for the first time, Sixth
Grade band students will perform under the direction of
Kayla Cicola. Sixth grade students will then be called
up to receive their certificate of completion. Immediately
following this presentation we invite students and
families to join us in the cafeteria for a reception
