📧 Check your inbox—your Room Rep has entered the chat!

You should have received an email from your child’s Homeroom Rep. These brave parent volunteers help keep everyone in the loop on school happenings, assist teachers with classroom needs and help plan those grade-level parties.

They’re basically part party planner, part classroom helper, part parent group-chat customer service…and we appreciate them BIG time. 🫶

Didn’t get an email? Send us a message and we’ll happily connect you with your Room Rep!

We’re proud to support a cause with special ties to families in our community. 💜

Manda Maxwell was a beloved Eddins mom who continued volunteering at the school while battling cancer. Today, her family carries on her legacy through the Manda Strong , creating special trips and experiences for moms fighting cancer.

With many former Eddins families now part of our Bennett community, we’d love to show our support! 💜

Gather your team, grab your clubs & join us on the course for a great cause!

WELP… JUST KIDDING!

Chick-fil-A Eldorado & Ridge just called and their internet is currently DOWN, so forget everything we said about “app only.” 😅

New game plan: Order however you can tonight! If you’re ordering in person, just make sure you mention Bennett Spirit Night so we get credit.

📱 If the app comes back online, use the “Support Community Care Event” toggle.

Same chicken. Same Spirit Night. Slightly more chaotic instructions. 😂
