HELLO from Bennett students and staff!
CURBSIDE CHECKOUT
Is your child looking for a summer book resource? Fargo Public Schools librarians are hosting a summer Curbside Checkout for all students who wish to check out reading material. Beginning Wednesday, June 10, each student can check out, pick up, and return books. Students begin by filling out a form telling librarians the type of books they would like; this will be done each time they wish to check out books, with a limit of five books per check out. They will then pick up their books during the pickup time window, return their books on the next available date, and request more. Those who check out books on the final date will return the books to school once school is back in session. For dates, locations, and times, click here.
SUMMER READING
PLAYGROUNDS REOPENING
ATTENTION CURRENT 4TH GRADERS: ARE YOU INTERESTED IN JOINING 5TH GRADE ORCHESTRA?
Typically, the orchestra teachers go into 4th grade music classrooms during the months of April and May to show your child the instruments of the orchestra (violin, viola, cello, and bass) and demonstrate the characteristics of each. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the spring rental nights and demonstrations are postponed until fall 2020. Orchestra classes will begin shortly after for 5th graders who are interested in committing to the program.
Here are two rental night dates that have been determined:
Tuesday, September 8 at Ben Franklin; 1420 8th Street South
Tuesday, September 15 at Discovery; 1717 40th Avenue South
Potential date TBD at Carl Ben Eielson; 1601 13th Avenue South
At the event, you can sign up to rent an instrument and purchase supplies. Also, please plan on attending one of the parent information sessions either at 5:00-5:30 or 6:00-6:30. The parent information session will give you a chance to ask any questions and learn about opportunities you will have in orchestra. Plan to spend a total of about one hour. You may go to one of the three music stores in the area if you are unable to attend any of these rental nights.
This information is subject to change during this uncertain time.
Please call or email Mary Osterlund if you have specific questions:

YEARBOOK UPDATE
Dear Families,
I am sorry to report our yearbook order has been delayed. This was not the company's fault but due to technical difficulties beyond our control.
If your 5th grade child ordered a yearbook, someone will contact you when the yearbooks arrive and arrange for pick up. If your child is in grades K-4 and ordered a yearbook, he/she will receive it in the fall.
We apologize for the delay. If you have any questions, please call the Bennett Office at 701.446.4000.
Sincerely,
Ms. Schafer
