Text Box: Wow! What a productive and fun fall it has been. Thank you to the many volunteers at our school. We hope you had a chance to attend Family Math/Bingo Night on October 19th. Thank you to the Math Committee for planning this, it was a fun evening! The Bellevue Schools Foundation held its annual Phonathon at the end of October. Bennett parents helped by making phone calls and donations to this worthy cause. The Bellevue Schools Foundation shares our PTA’s goal of enriching the educational experience of Bellevue students. Your kids benefit from BSF’s district-wide and specific project grants. Bennett staff and PTA chairs can apply to the Bellevue Schools Foundation for funds. We encourage and appreciate any support Bennett families can provide to BSF. If you did not have an opportunity to donate during the phonathon, consider donating anytime during the year. Text Box: Thank you to the Book Fair Chairs and Mrs. Bolivar for organizing this year’s sale. It is always fun to browse and shop for books with the kids. It is even more fun when part of the sales go back to our own library! Please remember the next PTSA General Membership Meeting is Tuesday, November 14th at 7:00 PM in the school library. Childcare and snacks are provided. Mark your calendars for our next PTSA event, the Multicultural Potluck dinner on Friday, November 17th. This event is an amazing collection of international cuisine and student talent. Bennett is blessed with a diverse student population and it is so much fun to sample the delicious and interesting dishes from around the world. Enjoy the season and your kids!
