John F. Kennedy Elementary School

My daughter is in Mrs Scrima's kindergarten class. I have never known a teacher more dedicated and more loving and above all respectful of the children as Mrs Scrima. She came to visit our home in the summer to get acquainted with my daughter and make her feel excited about school. She stayed two hours, playing with the children and helping us parents with the multitude of school forms. At school in the morning Mrs Scrima stoops at child level and greets each child by shaking their hand and saying their name. The child is respected like any adult. Mrs Scrima emails us a weekly schedule of upcoming events so we don't miss anything. My daughter is absolutely thriving and loves her teacher. We are so very fortunate she has such an amazing school to start her education.

Both of my daughters attended JFKennedy School in Somerville. The teachers give them great ideas when they need help and keep in touch with parents. The principal will take care of any problems that arises...He also takes pride in his school as well as with parents..Students come first.When u visit the school u feel like u know everyone that works there..Everyone there is so friendly. Both of my daughters have good memories of their teachers and what they have leraned there has helped them in the outside world. One of my daughters is a sophmore at Lesley College and is on the Deans's List. My other daughter is a junior at Somerville High School and is a honor student... I just want to thank the JFKennedy School for helping them to where they got to today... working with us and our daughters as a team..... Thank You!
