Kenton Elementary

Kenton's Vision

All Kenton students will make a yearly minimum of one year’s growth in language, reading, writing, and math. In addition, all Kenton students who have been in APS since 1st grade will leave 5th grade on grade level in literacy and math.

At Kenton we work so that all students can achieve success and can say confidently,

• "I am valued and feel valued."
• "I set high social and academic standards to acquire the skills I need."
• "I take pride in who I am and show respect for others."
• "I make positive contributions to the Kenton Community."
• "I build a vision for all I can be and what I can do."

"It takes a village ... to raise a child."

Mrs. Foster was looking for deserving students who could be rewarded with a new pair of shoes.  An anonymous donor came forth and gave $2000 toward the Shoes for Success project.  Our students deserve NEW shoes that fit them.  Students were nominated by staff and each child chose from 6 different styles.  Aurora Towne Center Famous Footwear gave 25% off each shoe, but gathered all the orders.  Kenton staff also supported the project monetarily.  62 students were given their new shoes and socks on December 16th.  At the Shoes for Success celebration, students were taught the concept of "Pay it Forward" (when someone does soemthing kind for you, you do something kind for another).  Each student wrote a thank you note.  We celebrate these students of academic and social potential.
