Benjamin School District 25 Parents,

Spring Break is upon us and I would like to thank all of the Benjamin parents and guardians for  getting their children to school on time and ready for taking the state IAR testing these past two weeks. We will be taking the Illinois Science Assessment in 5th and 8th grade on April 15th,16th, and 17th.  

In other Bengal News we are super excited for the hard work our cast and crew put into their performances of  Bye Bye Birdie this past week.  They really showed what is possible when you work together towards a common goal.   

On April 9th we are looking forward to the 4th graders visiting BMS where they will get to see their teachers for next year talking about their classes, get a tour of the building from 7th grade NJHS students,  see a performance and presentation from our band and then I will give a presentation and answer student questions.  That evening we have a parent only presentation at 6:30pm and there will also be tours given by our 5th grade teachers.  

On April 17th we have our annual Bengals Night, a celebration of the arts at Benjamin Middle School.  There will be musical performances, stem displays, PE activities and some healthy cooking samples. Parents will also see art displays throughout the entire building and will have an opportunity to visit our book fair in the library.   I hope all Benjamin families enjoy their well deserved week off and we will see you back at Benjamin on April 7th!
