Spelling Bee
Splendid Spelling Today in the Benson Gym!
Congratulations to the students pictured below who represented the Gr. 4-8 classes at the annual Benson School Spelling Bee today.
Special thanks to Mrs. Hillman, Miss MacMillan and Mrs. Laberi for judging the competition which was organized by Mrs. Vidamour.
The competition at the spelling bee was fierce!! Ultimately Raymond (6M) spelled his way to victory by correctly spelling the word, 'momentum'. Alvin (5J) ran a close second, but was tripped up by the word 'harness'. Raymond will be representing Benson this spring at the Regional Spelling Bee. Good luck Raymond!

We Care, We Can Food Drive - HUGE Success
Benson students once again displayed great character by supporting the "We
Care, We Can" food drive. Students enthusiastically participated by
encouraging one another to bring in cans and were very excited about the
thought of helping others and making a difference in their community. Mrs. Hillis' class donted the most cans with a total of 160 cans. Way to go grade 2!
Great job Bobcats for showing what caring looks like in action!
