We want to wish a Happy Police Officer Week to our very own Officer Bowers. Thank you for keeping our school safe and for your support of our students and staff. We are so grateful that you are here at Bennett Elementary.
Thank you to Ms. Melenie Eskridge from Manvel Library Branch of the Brazoria County Library System for coming to Bennett to present to all of the grade levels about summer reading and all of the activities at the public library. Our students were really excited about the dinosaur theme and the stories she read aloud.
Kindergarten students participated in Kinder Camp Day today. What an exciting experience. Thank you to all of our kindergarten teachers and parents for helping make this day a huge success.
Tomorrow is Field Day! It is going to be warm. The students will not be outside all day, but they will be outside for some time. Please send your child with a water bottle and apply sunscreen before coming to school, as we are unable to apply sunscreen at school. Please make sure your child wears closed-toe shoes, preferably tennis shoes, and school-appropriate summer clothes, preferably shorts. Students may also wear a hat or visor.
Please label water bottles with your child’s name if possible. We also encourage students to eat a good breakfast and come ready to have fun!
