Once again JFKMS hosted a school wide Spelling Bee. Classroom winners from the English classes gathered in the auditorium to participate in the competition. Jordan M. an eighth grade student took the honor of this year championship by spelling the word “punctual”. Christopher W. came in second. Jordan M. will participate in the Virginia-Pilot/WHRO Spelling Bee in Febraury.
The John F. Kennedy Middle School Family, Careers and Community Leaders of America Club prepared and donated two Thanksgiving Dinners to two students and their family. The food was donated by the club members, staff, faculty and Wal-Mart.
Congratulations to Mr. Fenner’s and Mrs. Fittro’s classes! They tied for first place in the door decorating contest during College Week! Stop by their rooms to see their amazing work.
WatchDOGS www.fathers.com/watchdogs is coming to John F. Kennedy!!! Many of our feeder elementary schools already sponsor the program so it seems appropriate to bring this great program to the middle school level. From the WatchDOGS website: WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) – Engage men, inspire children, reduce bullying and enhance the educational environment at your school. WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) – Is the father involvement initiative of the National Center for Fathering that organizes fathers and father figures in order to provide positive male role models for the students and to enhance school security. Today, more than 2200 active programs in 41 states participate in the WATCH D.O.G.S. Program. Who are WatchDOGS? Fathers, grandfathers, step-fathers, uncles, and other father figures who volunteer to serve at least one day a year in a variety of school activities as assigned by the school principal or other adminstrator. The Kickoff/Informational Session will be Thursday, November 17th at 6PM in the JFK Cafeteria. Please contact me kevgoetz@spsk12.net if you have any questions. Otherwise we look forward to seeing you on the 17th! A special “Thanks” to our PTA for sponsoring this great program and to Mr. Russ Darnell and Mr. Brian O’Neal for volunteering to serve as our WatchDOGS Top Dogs. JFK Middle School hosted its 2nd Annual Fall Festival. We would like to thank all the parents, students, and staff who dropped by and enjoyed a bowl of hot chili, bobbed for apples, tossed the bean bag and bowled a few pumpkins. Over 200 cans of food were donated for the Salvation Army Food Bank and at least 1,000 plastic bags were collected for the Environmental Club.
Attention: Beginning on March 7, 2011, the Suffolk Police Department will begin issuing tickets to anyone illegally parking in the fire lanes located in the front of most schools.

What time do I need to pick my child up? If students are not riding the bus, they should be picked up at 2:10.
