New Ad Campaign Designed to Inspire Students

The school year 2008-09 is beginning with a new advertising campaign entitled "Positively! Kennedy." Created by the Kennedy Media Department and in cooperation with Jeff Olson, district technology services, the series of posters capture images of Kennedy students engaged in their learning processes. These images are then entitled with the six Core Ethical Values of Bloomington Public Schools. The banners were generously printed through a donation from Joe Knollenberg, a Bloomington resident and owner of Personal Touch Realty. It is planned that the campaign will continue throughout the year with new forms of encouragement for the students of Kennedy.
