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
Don't forget to apply!
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
Just a few weeks left of summer. Kids getting boared at home? Too hot to play outside? Checkout the BBLC's Literati store. Find a new book, STEM activity or, family game AND support the Bennett Learning Commons at the same time. Remember to select Bennett when shopping! https://literati.com/store/?school=bennett-elementary-school-mckinney-tx
We have been (im)patiently waiting for book vending machine! We cannot wait for our Bears to earn books!
Thank you for supporting the Big Kahuna Fundraiser in recent years to make this happen!
Thanks to Ms. Brubaker for getting us all set up and our books ready!
