Welcome to Bennie Elementary! 
 
The staff and I are committed to inspiring children to academic excellence within a community that promotes respect, responsibility and safety.  We seek to balance academic and social development to foster responsibility and cooperation within a supportive learning community. Our primary goal is to help every child realize his or her full academic potential.  
      The learning community at Bennie Elementary is filled with excellent students who work hard each day in a warm and challenging academic environment.  We focus on student achievement and student learning—particularly in the core academic areas of reading literacy, writing, math, science, and social studies.  Student learning is enhanced by technology that is integrated into the core curriculum.  The teaching staff continues to look for new and innovative ways in which to enrich the curriculum and strengthen the skills of our students—doing so will ensure that Bennie students get the best possible education imaginable.  In addition to our standards-based academic program, students participate in a wide variety of assemblies, field trips, and hands-on activities.  
      A successful educational experience must be a partnership between the home and the school. Educators and parents alike contribute to the growth of our students. Parents are not only supportive of an enriched curriculum, but also have ample opportunity to participate in a variety of school activities and our school PTA. Educating children is as exciting as it is challenging.  We, at Bennie Elementary, value each and every parent as their child’s first educator, and we value the trust they place in us to educate their child through the elementary school experience.
 
Warmly,
