Today, Mr. David Brubaker, CEO of the Central Brevard Sharing Center, met with our Beta Club students who participated in the “Community Ties” Blanket Project. Our Beta Club students voluntarily purchased fleece fabric and met as a group to construct 28 blankets. Mr. Brubaker shared how this initiative will make a meaningful impact on our homeless community during the upcoming winter months. We are incredibly proud of our Beta Club students for their compassion and commitment to improving the lives of our community’s most vulnerable families.

• Mrs. Pokorny & Mrs. Howard—they fringed nearly all the blankets and taught ALL the kids how to make them! This was a so appreciated!

At Kennedy Middle School, we believe athletics is an extension of the classroom—and these young men exemplify that by being Champions both on the field and in the classroom!
