Ben-Hem Bobcats

• Happy Thanksgiving! It is important to feel and express kindness and gratitude. It seems even more tangible during November. I hope that you find time to relax with family and friends and take time to enjoy each others' company before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season descends. Thank you for partnering with all of us at Ben Hem in the service of your students.

Between December 6 and December 20, we are hosting a targeted drive to support the Natick Service Council Food Pantry. We have assigned specific items by grade level and will have collection boxes in the front lobby for each item/grade level. Please consider donating to help others in our community.
