Benteen Elementary School

We were excited to welcome Books for Keeps to Benteen! 📚✨
Our students each received 12 books to take home and enjoy reading throughout the summer. We are so grateful for this opportunity to help our students continue building a love for reading beyond the classroom! ☀️📖

Today we celebrated the brilliance, creativity, and hard work of our students during our IB Exhibition: A Celebration of Learning! 🌟 From inquiry and research to collaboration and action, our scholars showcased what it means to be thoughtful global learners and leaders. We are so proud of the confidence, passion, and knowledge they displayed today. Brilliance is the standard! 💙💛

Our Día del Niño celebration was filled with joy, laughter, and fun for our students and families! 🎉❤️ Students enjoyed games, books, activities, and time together as a community. A huge thank you to our amazing PTA for helping make this special event possible through your support and dedication. We are grateful for all you do for our Benteen families! 💙💛
