Athletic Spectator Policy Update

 


Dear Kennedy Families-

Not so long ago, our prayers were united for our students. "Please let them be able to go to school." "Please let them have a sports season." "Please let us watch them play."

How lucky we are that so far, our prayers have been answered. While there are certainly challenges to making all this happen, the Kennedy administration, faculty, support staff, and athletic department has risen to the call to serve our students to help facilitate these opportunities.

Our initial spectator policy was a more liberal interpretation of the Ohio Dept. of Health order; after hearing the Governor's remarks and being in contact with ODH, Trumbull County Dept of Health, and Warren City Schools administration, we have dialed back our spectator policy for home football games to be more in line with those interpretations. In summary, here are the three major changes:

  • Students may not buy individual tickets. (Students may only attend if they are family of a player or participant included in the designated family tickets)
  • Staff may not purchase tickets unless part of game day staff, including stadium management.
  • Football players and cheerleaders still may purchase 4 family tickets; families of seniors may purchase an additional set of 4 tickets with the restriction those 4 tickets are for one family unit that can sit in one set of 4 seats. (Bleachers are marked in sets of 4- so those 4 extra tickets can only use up one section). 

Everyone wants to see our Eagles play! I know it is hard to limit family and friends, and it breaks my heart knowing all our fans cannot come. However, YSN will be live streaming video and audio for $9.99. Also, I look back at the first week of June, when I met with coaches and families on Zoom to talk about "if" we were going to get a season or a school year...and here we are! It feels like so long ago, but the months since then have been packed with a lot of hard work from a lot of people who care about our Eagles.

Tickets are on sale today (enter by gym) 10 am to 12 pm or 5 pm to 7pm. $6 per ticket, cash and correct change only. (Only families of players and cheerleaders).

Like Eagles soaring straight and true...Let's do this Kennedy Family!!

With all sincerity-

The Graduation of the Netflix Generation

  Good morning Kennedy Family. It is with joy that I address you, the 60th graduating class of John F. Kennedy High School. This week we have talked about and experienced the rich traditions of JFK, including our legacy families and alumni. Your many successes are now entwined with those lasting traditions and your class has been written into our history. Your time at Kennedy has also been marked by an extreme uptick in technology used at our school– in 6th grade, we became the first school in Trumbull County to be 1:1 devices, K-12 and the creation of our state of the art Think Lab. The following years brought on the addition of security cameras to assist Coach K with his ever-watchful eye over the building and new web-based resources like Google Classroom and edPuzzle became our everyday tools (here’s to you, Mr. Codispoti). This blending of tradition and technology reminds me of the label given to my generation, the Xennials. Many of the parents here were also born at this t...

School Start Eve

There's a certain electricity in the air at Upper Campus. It's the anticipation of students starting school.  My favorite holiday is Christmas Eve. The anticipation of Christmas morning is palpable. From the time I was a kid, waiting to see what was under the tree to today as a mom, hoping my girls are excited for the gifts I carefully selected--the anticipation is better than the actual celebration.  Tomorrow will be better than today, because I will actually see my "kids." But the anticipation is still pretty satisfying. The hope of a new year, with new students, new classes, new possibilities awaits. Who will rise to be the valedictorian of the senior class? Which sports will make a deep post-season run? Which teacher will shine in a new assignment? The possibilities are endless tonight. We have worked tirelessly this summer. From the early days of June putting together the calendar of events and master schedule, to hiring new teachers and creating new courses, to ...

Commencement Speech 2023

Good morning Kennedy Family. It is with joy that I address you, the graduating class of 2023. It is also with sadness, hope, love, and respect that I address you because, as Mr. Codispoti tells me, “you get too attached to the seniors.” and honestly it’s never been more true than this year. As Winnie the Pooh said, How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. I’d like to start by sharing a story from the late 1900s. I was in middle school and we had the same English teacher for 3 years in a row. At the end of 7th grade, our final year in the building, she would write a poem about the students in the class; funny stories she would remember or things she admired about us. This was a big deal to the students and we could not wait to hear it. What I didn’t realize was that it was probably a big deal for her too. To grow close with a group of kids for a few years and see them leave is hard– and the better the students, the harder the ending. The pressure of a poem I’m...
