​Ubuntu is a Nguni Bantu term meaning "humanity". It is often translated as "I am because we are," or "humanity towards others", but is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity".
​​
​Mrs. Robberson has incorporated Kennedy Elementary's theme, UBUNTU, into the counseling program in an effort to create a culture of community among staff, students, and their families.

Hello Kennedy Family, 
​By now, all students and lots of parents have met Sadie Jane, Kennedy's Therapy Dog!
I am so excited to now introduce Moira, Kennedy's second Therapy Dog...
​

Moira is a therapy dog in the music program at Kennedy Elementary. Ms. Hoipkemier and Moira have been certified as an animal assisted therapy team by A New Leash On Life. Moira serves students by promoting self-regulation, attention to task, mindfulness, and following several-step interaction. By interacting with Moira, students understand the environment around them, how to make choices that are musical, artistic, and mindful.
