Hello Kennerly Families,

Let the good times ROLL! Our students and staff enjoy taking learning to higher levels! Thank you for your partnership and support!

Meramec Caverns - Our PEGS students had an wonderful opportunity to extend their learning beyond the four walls of the classroom. Our students had fun exploring and learning about caves at Meramec Caverns. 1-3rd graders also learned about bats, while the 4th and 5th graders identified different types of rocks!

Professional Learning - Our Kennerly staff always works hard to put our students first! Thank you our awesome teachers for volunteering their time to come in before school starts and engage in professional development!

2nd Grade Partner Reading - Our 2nd grade students love sharing their learning with their peers! This is an awesome way to share details, explain their thoughts, and predict what will take place later in the story. Way to go 2nd grade students!

Reminders:
