CHARGER WEEKLY 2023-2024
April 19th, 2024
Please consider helping us make Teacher Appreciation Week a fun, deserving week for our teachers and staff (100+)! We can't do it alone, so we are asking for your help!
Please sign up and donate as you are able at this link.
Drop off items during the school day the week before (4/29-5/3/24). We will have a labeled cart in the lobby of the Main Office. For perishable items please drop off during the school day on Monday 5/6/24.
If your student has a favorite BF teacher or two and would like to write a note of appreciation, we would love to get it to them! We will have a box in the library during Teacher Appreciation Week where students can drop their notes.
Students, make sure to have the teacher's name clearly written on your note/card. The notes will be distributed throughout the week.

Please meet teacher Olivia De Valk!
Hi, I’m Ms. De Valk! This is my second year teaching English here at Ben Franklin. I graduated from UWSP and split my student teaching between Ben and SPASH. I love the district and the Stevens Point area and am grateful I got the opportunity to stick around!
When I'm not teaching English, I love spending time rollerblading around town or making my own kombucha. One of my favorite parts of the school year is the first week when I bring in a jar of fermenting kombucha (which students compare to a dead fish or a mushroom) and offer them the chance to smell it, touch it, and guess what it is!
