We Are Kennett Night will help students to begin creating a vision for what is possible through their education and in their future careers.” Hritz added, “We will be sharing a wealth of information, in addition to being able to answer any questions that out students and parents may have….A lot of hard work and energy has gone into making this event a possibility, and we hope to make this a yearly event!”
