Our Grand-Bears had a "GRAND" time at breakfast today. We are so grateful to host so many family and friends. Thank you for joining us today!
Today was a great day! Mrs. Skidmore was able to visit the Kinder classrooms and teach them what a School Counselor does! Showing them how I help build them up, support them, listen, lend a helping hand, I’m a safe person to talk to when they have big feelings, and help them problem solve and know it’s ok to make mistakes. We laughed and giggled a lot! Enjoy some of the cute pictures from today!
Thank you MEF (McKinney Education Foundation) for our 24/25 grant that funded our communication boards. Our students can communicate more effectively with their peers during recess!
This 1st grader is the only Bennett Bear to complete (and turn in!) the BBLC summer reading challenge! She earned a reading trophy- way 2 go!
Thank you McKinney Fire Dept for brining the Fire Clowns to Bennett! Out Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade students enjoyed the show! Ask you student how to stay safe at home!
1st grade is Buzzing in Music today!
Our Big Kahuna Fundraiser starts today! Check your student's backpack for details. Send those slips in to start your Dino World collection. And don't forget, the money raised goes right back to our students, staff, and school!
Thank you BOYD HS ATHLETES for helping our Bears at Dismissal Thursday and Friday!! We appreciate our high school student leaders for being role-models to our Bears! 🐾🐻💙
Matter Museum was on display in 5th grade today. Students were challenged to create or find an object, identify physical properties, and group it with other objects in their group find common properties. During the gallery showing, students were invited to leave comment cards sharing positive feedback.
4th grade had a great time checking out their first books. They remembered so many rules there was extra time to check out the Sticktogether board and the Read & Ride bikes.
Bennett Families,
We had our very first Fire Drill of the school year today. Our Bears did great and followed all of our campus expectations. We are required to have a Fire Drill at the beginning of each month. Please see the newsletter for our upcoming Drills.
Thank you!
Attention Bennett Families! This is a great way to have a Bennett memento and support our students!
Attention 5th grade Parents!
Our teachers are learning about all our Learning Commons has to offer! We are so grateful that our Bennett Staff is a group of learners!
Thank you PTO and Dunkin Donuts for hosting our event this morning! Rather than the night before school, we had Chalk the Walk this morning as a way to celebrate our new classmates! #ProudtobeaBEAR

Back to School at the very best school in McKinney! We loved seeing all of our Bennett Bears and can't wait to see you Tuesday morning!
Back to school means back to work for the staff at Bennett. We are partnering with the staff at Wolford to learn and grow this year. Monday meant collaboration, planning, and learning about our work within a professional learning community.
Ms. Arias, our Bennett Music Teacher, has been at an intensive music workshop the last 2.5 weeks at SMU in Dallas. She ended her learning with a concert today! We are excited to see the work implemented in Music this year! Thank you for attending and learning for our Bears! #wearemckinneyisd #proudtobeaBEAR
