After our weekly staff meeting today, our Bennett staff spent quality time together. Under the guidance of Art Teacher Mrs D, staff used acrylic and alcohol paints to create watercolor/mosaic ornaments. It was such a great way to relax together and try something new!

This week in P.E., all Bennett students participated in the 2025 Stack Up! They were trying to help break a world record of the "most people sport stacking at multiple locations." Our bears had fun competing against each other in the 3, 3, 3 as well as the 3, 6, 3, stack challenges. Check out some of the fun!
Today wrapped up our Thanksgiving/Fall festivities with our 2nd grade Thanksgiving Day parade and a Turkey Trot in P.E. for all students. Enjoy a few photos from the events. Have a safe and restful Thanksgiving Break!
