I know I speak for everyone when I say that I wish Kendra and Kathy the best of luck in their retirement. The kindness and dedication they have shown to Benjamin 25 are great examples to aspire to for current and future Benjamin 25 employees.
We wish Betty and Kerri S the best of luck as they make that long journey from BMS to Evergreen next year. They are still part of BMS as we are a two school one district family and we appreciate everything they have accomplished in our halls.
The road between Benjamin and Evergreen travels both ways as we welcome Lori Edler as our 6th grade teaching assistant next year and Nicole Johnson as our EL teacher. I look forward to seeing how their individual strengths add to our school as a whole.
Other moves for next year...Sue will be moving back to support Kerry K's core class, Carrie L will be our LMC assistant, Alex will be supporting 5th and 8th grade and Courtney will be supporting 6th and 7th grade.
Congratulations goes out to Jen Matthews as she has secured a full time teaching position for next year. It is a loss for us to be sure but I am sure we all wish her well in the next phase of her educational career.
8th grade graduation was a huge success thanks to everyone who contributed to the event and especially to the 8th grade teachers as they helped to support not only graduation but, the picnic and Great America as well to end the 8th grade students year.
Yesterday was exciting with the 7th grade bowling trip, the 5th grade reward challenge and the 6th grade olympics. What a great day of physical activity that also challenged their mind.
Thanks to Melissa for taking care of the room check out during this crazy time. Please make sure you get everything marked off before you leave for the summer.
Thanks to Angela for the great job she did in leading the yearbook club to an outstanding final product! In a former life I was the yearbook advisor and I definitely know how much work is involved!
I am looking forward to the award ceremonies this morning. I love celebrating the achievements of our students. Big thanks to Kim G as she did a tremendous job getting the millions of certificates printed for these ceremonies and graduation!
I am also looking forward to the recognition lunch at Evergreen today. It is awesome to celebrate the end of another successful year, individual milestones and retirements.
I hope everyone has a joyful and safe summer filled with fun adventures and time with family and friends. I understand how tough your job is and you definitely have earned your break.
