Greetings Benfield Families!
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! Especially at Benfield! I am continuously impressed with our students and their work ethic. Each time I visit classrooms, students are so eager to share what they are learning. It truly is joyful!

PTO Updates
WINTER CELEBRATION FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS!
Your Benfield PTO is putting on a winter celebration Thursday, December 15th from 12:15-2:20. The students will all gather in the cafeteria to watch Homeward Bound.
We need volunteers from each class to help pour/pass out hot chocolate, popcorn and keep an eye on the students during the movie. We will also need help with cafeteria clean up once the movie ends at 2:15. All volunteers must have completed a AACPS background check prior to the event.
Below is a link to Signup Genius to fill those spots. Please push this out to your class and encourage parents to sign up. Thanks for all your help!
