September 2008
Welcome to
Bennett
Elementary School
. We are entering a new school year following SEVEN CONSECUTIVE YEARS of
being honored as a PWC School of Excellence. I am looking forward to
starting my seventh year here as its Principal making this my 18th
year at Bennett! If you’re returning, you also know this is not a
school anyone ever wants to leave once you’ve experienced its charm.
Our reputation is wide-spread for excellence and friendliness; we pride
ourselves on both! I am always humbled to work with such dedicated
staff, committed parents and thirsty-for-challenge students and I
consider it an honor to be here! If
you haven’t had a chance to come by to say HI!,
please just stop in anytime to chat or exchange a warm smile.
I’ll look forward to it!
Our student performance scores
from
Virginia
’s
SOL
testing program have returned indicating High Achievement in all areas
for all grades. Our Wellness testing also revealed excellent scores. Now
the challenge before us is to continue such Excellence and see just how
much further we can soar!
I hope all our new students were able to come to see us on our
informal Open House on August 29 from
1:00-3:00
. It should have afforded you the opportunity to meet your new teacher,
see your new classroom and maybe even greet some new classmates. I’d
like to invite our parents to our Back-to-School Nights currently
scheduled for the evening of September 17 at
7:00 pm
for K-2 students’ parents and September 18 at
7:00 pm
for parents of students in grades 3-5. I know you’ll receive valuable
information from our skilled staff. I hope you all will be able to join
us!
Regards,
Sharon Eley Fogarty
