Thank you McKinney Boyd HS PALS for surprising us this morning! They sang jingle bells on morning announcements for our Bears!
Our big prize winner from the Jingle Jog completed his 3D print today. After exploring several designs, he chose a flexi millipede in multicolor filament. We learned about the code the printer uses, how to install filament, and ways to set up your design for the most success. Congrats!
"Deck the Halls" with holiday music was a success! Today's students played piano, sang songs, and played guitar! #proudtobeaBEAR
Thank you Dowell MS Band, Orchestra, and Choir for sharing your love of music with our 5th graders!
Jingle Jog on Saturday had a great turn out. Lots of smiling faces, jingle bells, sweet treats and of course prizes! Students were able to find envelopes filled with bear bucks, golden tickets for the Book Vending machine, and 1 very special 3d print experience. Thanks to all the staff and PTO members who helped make this such a special morning.
Our December Holiday Live was so much fun. Lots of awards, clapping, and even a few sing alongs. Enjoy these smiling faces as we close out the week!
Congratulations to the Bennett Bears of the Month and our Creed winners! Special shoutout to Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Mosley for being selected for the Above & Bear-yond Staff awards and Mrs. Jakobsen and Mrs. Brubaker for the Staff Creed awards!
PART 2:
Bennett's Winter 3-5 Fine Arts Night was magical. Students in grades 3 - 5 had the opportunity to display a piece of artwork in the hallway gallery for all families to enjoy. Each of the three grade levels performed folk dances for families. And the evening finished with our Bennett Choir performing several unique winter songs featuring 3 soloists and a round robin style song. Please join us in congratulating our students efforts and thanking each of our Specials teachers, Ms. Daubenspeck, Mrs. Arias, and Coach Evans for their commitment to student creativity and expression.
