Benfield Family Newsletter
November 30, 2021
Greetings Benfield Families!
I hope you had a wonderful relaxing Thanksgiving and enjoyed the time with family. This is an important time of the year to reflect on what is important to us and be thankful to those around us. I wanted to share my sincere appreciation to the Benfield community for being supportive and positive! I am so proud of what we have accomplished as a school community. Coming back to full time school with the many COVID restrictions in place, we did an amazing job the first marking period. Thank you for your continued support!
Brrrr! With the weather changing, be sure your children have warm outer clothes for recess. We typically go out unless it is raining, the grounds are soaked from a recent rain, or the temperature drops below 32 degrees.
