	~~Words on~~ the ~~cornerstone quoted from~~ Kennedy~~'s 1960 inaugural address: "Let~~ the ~~word go forth from this time and place, to friends and foe alike~~, ~~that~~ the ~~torch has been passed to a new generation~~ of ~~Americans~~ .... "		Construction of the school was plagued with repeated delays. Originally scheduled to open eight days after the other Dubuque public schools, Kennedy School opened twelve weeks after the school year began. Kindergarten classes were held at [[ST. PETER LUTHERAN CHURCH]], grades one through three met in the educational wing of [[WESTMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH]], and students in grades four and five started classes at [[IRVING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL]]. Grade six students began the year at [[LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL]]. (2) The completed school, costing an estimated $500,000, was designed with fifteen classrooms built in a U-shape around a multi-purpose room in which were located the auditorium, cafeteria, gymnasium, and library. The office complex closed the rectangle.

	~~Construction~~ of the school ~~was plagued~~ with ~~repeated delays~~. ~~Originally scheduled to open eight days after~~ the ~~other Dubuque public schools~~, Kennedy School ~~opened twelve weeks after~~ the school year ~~began~~.		Increasing enrollment led to the building of an addition in 1972, another addition in 2003, and the addition of 2 trailers in 2004. During its peak years, with enrollment exceeding 700 students, Kennedy School was the largest elementary school in the state of Iowa. It remained one of the largest in the city and state with a student population of 665 in 2006-2007. With Carver Elementary being built on the west end of town for the 2007-2008 school year, some of the overcrowding at Kennedy School was reduced by redistricting nearly 250 students to Carver. (3) Starting with the 2005-2006 school year, Kennedy School became a K-5 elementary school. All 6th grades were removed from the Dubuque schools and sent to the 3 middle schools. The two-story addition to Kennedy of approximately 25,000 square feet was completed around 2015. It included a new gymnasium, technology center, music and art classrooms, special education classrooms and kindergarten classrooms. (4)

	~~Kindergarten classes were held~~ at [[~~ST. PETER LUTHERAN CHURCH~~]], ~~grades one through three met in~~ the ~~educational wing~~ of ~~[[WESTMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH]], and students in grades four and five started classes at [[IRVING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL]]. Grade six students began~~ the ~~year at [[LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL]]~~. ~~The completed school, costing an estimated $500,000,was designed with fifteen classrooms built in a U-shape around a multi-purpose room in which~~ were ~~located~~ the ~~auditorium, cafeteria, gymnasium, and library. The office complex closed~~ the ~~rectangle~~.		On August 17, 2017 former colleagues gathered at Kennedy to honor [[WILLOUGHBY, David\|David WILLOUGHBY]], the first principal of the school who held the position from 1964 to 1984. His contributions to education were remembered by the creation of the Willoughby Multi-Purpose Room. (5)
