	OUR SCHOOL In 1964 the Right Reverend Monsignor Micheal Maloney founded The John F. Kennedy Memorial School. Our school is located north of the River Shannon on the main Limerick to Ennis Road. Our school is named after the American President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Back in 1963 the president visited Ireland. Many people loved the American president as his grandparents has come from Ireland and settled in America to build a new life for them. On the last day of his visit President Kennedy addressed thousands of people in Limerick. Monsignor Moloney and he was very impressed by him. In November that year President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas Texas. Monsignor Moloney decided to name the new primary school after his memory. Our school is a senior boys' primary school .
	OUR CREST Our school crest features a cross and the name of the school in a shield bordered with gold stripes. These stripes represent the United States of America and the bold cross represents Christian Fortitude. The Ribbon on which the shield stands contains the Kennedy motto, Adaereo Virtute.
