✨ On the last day of school, former KES students from the JJHS graduating Class of 2026 returned for a parade through the halls alongside fifth grade graduates, while students and staff cheered them on. 🎓
It was a day of celebration at KES as our fifth grade Bulldogs closed one chapter and look ahead to adventures at JJMS.
As summer approaches, students explored reading programs, challenges, and events offered through the Katonah Village Library. Visits to the library and KES included book recommendations, bookmark making, and ideas for keeping reading part of summer.
Students and families are encouraged to learn more about the library’s summer reading opportunities.

Designing for the future 🏡 JJHS environmental physics students took passive house design from concept to full build, mapping out blueprints, airflow, insulation, and energy systems with real-world purpose. Designs also incorporated accessibility features like ramps, wide doorways, and no-step layouts. High school students presented their projects to 4th graders at Increase Miller and Katonah Elementary, helping connect younger students to sustainability topics through peer-led learning.
