Dear BMS Families!

November is a great time to take a moment to reflect and be thankful. Thank you for your support; we could not do what we do without you! Thank you for entrusting us with your students and partnering with us to make their social, emotional, and academic experience a positive one here at Benson Middle School. It is a blessing showing up to campus every day to help shape the lives of so many middle school students.

We are thankful for our awesome Bobcat Family here at Benson Middle School. Our teachers and staff are hardworking and dedicated professionals with a “true heart” for all students. Being able to build relationships with students, staff, and parents that we respect and trust is priceless!

Building positive communication and relationships between our staff, parents and students is important. Feel free to communicate with us if you foresee future absences or after an unexpected absence. We look forward to hearing from you. Please keep in mind that student attendance on Friday’s is important because we take Formative Assessments.

Reminder, Benson Middle School’s Girls Softball and Boys Basketball teams have started their Quarter 2 seasons and are doing well. We would like to invite parents to attend our extra-curricular events which can be found on our website.

Lastly, this month we invite your family to complete another Family Dare, which focuses on being grateful. Take 5 minutes in the morning to share (and have everyone in the family share) one thing they are grateful for today. This allows everyone to start their days with a mind and heart filled with gratefulness.

As Scarlett Lewis says, “it’s hard to have a grateful thought and a negative thought at the same time!”

I’m Grateful for your partnership,

Thomas Webb Sr.
