Come support over 75 performers, musicians, and tech crew that make the Kennedy High School Theater Department one of the best in the state.
Retirees and senior citizens are invited to attend this free, special dress-rehearsal performance and experience the talents of our students. The musical will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. and runs approximately 2 ½ hours with intermission. Doors open at 12:30 p.m.

Volunteer at Financial Literacy Fair
We’re looking for volunteers to help students. No experience necessary!
From May 7-11 and May 14-18, 8th graders will participate in the Linn County Financial Literacy Fair at the Kirkwood Linn County Regional Center in Hiawatha during the mornings. In class, students learn about life decisions that affect financial well-being. Based on their interests, they select a career, and determine gross and net salaries. Then they attend The Fair to face the reality of their financial decisions.
Join the Fun! A quick 30 minute volunteer training is given before students arrive.
