December 14th at 9am, behind Bennett!

This wonderful tradition joins together the fun of the season with keeping fit! The kids run laps around the back playground, collecting marks for each lap completed.

Bennett Holiday Parties will once again be celebrated together in the gym! This will allow students to celebrate with other children in their grade, allow more room for the activities, and allow parents to attend different grade-level parties. All parties will be during the grade level specials time.

Where: Bennett Gym

When: December 20th, during specials

We need volunteers to help make these a success! Holiday Party volunteers will help facilitate activities for the whole grade level. Please sign up below to assist during the holiday party. Photographers will use Learning Commons camera.

This role is a good way to get familiar with the processes and bylaws that our PTO adheres to. For more information please contact bennettvolunteers@gmail.com.
