Today, November 20, 2025, Robert F. Kennedy (1925-1968) would have turned 100.

We remember him not only as a U.S. Attorney General and Senator, but as a courageous champion for civil rights, economic and social justice, and peace; a leader who believed that compassion, courage, and everyday action could change the world. His commitment to sending out “ripples of hope” challenges each of us to stand with those whose voices are too often ignored.

At RFK Community Alliance, we’re honored to carry his name and even more honored to carry forward his ideals in our classrooms, residences, counseling rooms, Board room, and community programs every day.

We’ve reflected on RFK’s life, legacy, and the living memorial that became RFK Community Alliance here: https://www.rfkcommunity.org/posts/honoring-robert-f-kennedys-100

We were honored to join MAAPS in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)—a law that opened doors for countless students and families.

A special shoutout to Oliver, a talented student from our Doctor Franklin Perkins School, whose artwork was recognized during the event! MAAPS member school students of all ages and abilities were invited to submit an original art piece on the following theme: I am the “I” in IDEA.

Thank you to Massachusetts Association of Approved Private Schools (MAAPS) for bringing our community together to honor this important legislation and celebrate the creativity and achievements of our students. 💙

🌟 Happy World Kindness Day! 🌟

At Doctor Franklin Perkins School, kindness isn’t just a word—it’s a movement! Our Kindness Club, the largest club on campus, meets monthly to plan random acts of kindness that brighten our community. 💛

And kindness extends to our Farmers' Market today, part of our Job Readiness Program! Students learn real-world skills like marketing, money management, and customer service while selling popcorn, treats, and handmade goods. Every grade plays a role in job readiness—because kindness and growth go hand in hand. 🌱

Today, let’s celebrate the power of small acts that make a big difference. How will YOU spread kindness today? Comment below!

🍂 Harvest Fest at Doctor Franklin Perkins School 🍂

We celebrated the beauty of fall with a day full of creativity, learning, and community! From festive autumn activities to hands-on educational experiences, it was a wonderful way to embrace the season together.

A highlight of the day was visiting Rein in A Dream, where participants connected with horses and explored the power of therapeutic horsemanship. 🐴
