We are #Thankful
As we all count our personal blessings this week, we wanted to let you know how thankful the PTO is for the parents, teachers and students at Bennington Elementary. We are fortunate enough to have parents give their time and talents to our school and to our children. Parents who are willing to support our school by taking their children to food nights, ordering scrip cards, buying spirit wear, and supporting them in their fun run earlier this year.
Due to your efforts we are able to offer each class a second field trip, purchased music stands for the band program, purchased additional art materials for every grade level, and purchased classroom chrome books for grades two through six. These are just a few of the projects we would not be able to do without your support!
Thank you also to the parents who continually give of their time. Those that manage the AR cart, who conduct spirit days, who put on and attend the holiday parties for our kids. A special thanks to the group who showed up earlier this year to re-landscape the front of our school and to all those who donated plants for the project. Again, this would not be possible without you!
Happy Thanksgiving!
