Advisories: They are an important component of our school. These are special classes in which students get to bring up issues going on in their lives. This gives students a chance to voice their feelings, and communicate their concerns to their classmates and teachers. While this is a time of sober reflection and seriousness, there is a lighter side to the advisories as well. Right now, they are competing against each other in various ways: Chess, Math, Debate are just some of the forms of competition going on among these advisories.

Student Government: In November 2003, we finally elected students for our government. Learn more about the issues we are addressing in our school, and how they are getting resolved. Click the photo if you want to get up-to-date news on our student government.

School Garden: Students in the Law and Finance School are invited to get involved with the Enchanted Garden, a half-acre resource available to all students on the Kennedy campus. This award winning garden, created by Kennedy students almost ten years ago, includes a natural wetland, a small forest, a pond with fish and frogs, and an area in which fruits and vegetables are grown. The garden has been a source of employment for our students over the summer, providing them with an opportunity to learn more about horticulture and landscape design. The Environmental Club, which meets about twice a month maintains this site today.

Trips! In the fall of both 2003 and 2004, the entire school ventured down to Philadelphia to see with our own eyes where everything started. We got a good dose of law and finance on this trip, where we were able to visit both the regional Federal Reserve Bank, and Independence Hall, where our Constitution was drafted. Perfect! We also had fun. Click the photo if you want to learn more about these trips.

Our Visit to City Hall: In December of 2003, many of us were provided with the opportunity to visit the Tweed Courthouse, where the Department of Education is located. During this visit, we had the chance to meet Chancellor Joe Klein, and talk to him about various issues we are dealing with in our school. Click the photo if you want to learn more about this visit.
