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!

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.
