In like a lion out like a lamb?! Our weather can be tricky. Please
make sure your child is dressed for recess. The playground is a bit
soggy so boots and snow pants are still a good idea. Hopefully,
spring is on its way!! Until then, jackets are a must!
You will be hearing about our spring carnival soon. Our PTA is
busy planning and preparing for a fun time! Please put April 8 on
your calendar and join us at school for an entertaining evening!
Tickets are $5 and everyone is welcome! Raffle tickets and
additional information will be sent home later this month.
As you may know, NDSA Testing is right around the corner.
Bennett students in grades 3-5 will take state standardized tests next
month. At this time, it looks like our students will begin testing the
second week in April. Look for testing specifics as we get closer.
Finally, we need everyone to exercise caution when dropping off and
picking up their children. Please use the south loop and pull
alongside the curb to pick up or drop off your child. Traffic gets
congested so everyone needs to reduce their speed and be patient.
Thank you for your efforts to help keep our students safe!
I hope you and your child have a great month!
Sincerely,
Ms. Schafer

Thank you for your generous donations! Bennett students and their families donated over $1,300 to send a
student who has cancer to summer camp! Mrs. Belgarde, one of our fabulous 4th grade teachers, works at
Kamp KACE every summer. She is happy to report that students who attend get a chance to enjoy camp and
act like regular kids!
Blind Joe Visits 2nd Grade!
Joe Bommersbach, a Fargo North classmate of Mrs. Erica Johnson, and his wife Liann visited Bennett 2nd
graders. The students had been working on the question “How do people communicate in different ways?”
in their literacy lessons. They read a biography about Helen Keller, and researched people like Anne
Sullivan, Alexander Graham Bell, and Louis Braille. Their background knowledge about the challenges
blind people face was helpful as they thought of questions to ask “Blind Joe”. Joe spoke about how he
learned as a child, technology devices that make his life easier, and why he decided to try a career in
music. He also shared about being on The Voice and treated everyone to a song!
