John F. Kennedy Intermediate School general education and special needs students came together for a production of “Friendly Neighborhood Helpers.” Students performed an action-packed play that educated the audience on the important contributions of local service people and professionals.

Students took to the stage, dressed as crossing guards, firefighters, police officers and doctors to illustrate each profession’s contribution to a community, acting in skits and employing their respective occupational skill sets. Through vibrant scenes and informative dialogue, the young actors described how these people help others every day and expressed appreciation for their dedication and work.
