donated by the KJHS PTA for the Reading Caf? in the school library. |
This past summer the Kennedale Junior High PTA purchased furniture for the Reading Cafe in the school library according to KJHS Principal Michael Cagle. ?The kids are loving it!? he said while thanking the PTA. “The library is a great place to do homework, read, research or get on computers during lunch.”
On September 19, Kennedale Junior High School students volunteered their Saturday morning to help clean-up the area of Kennedale’s Whitehead Cemetery, which was Kennedale’s first African-American cemetery. The cemetery dates back 150 years and is the burial site of sharecroppers who migrated to Texas from Georgia beginning in the 1870’s. The clean-up effort marks the beginning of a restoration project of the Kennedale Historical Society. Teachers leading the effort are Mr. Gross, Ms. Gross, and Ms. Trotter.
