Bennett PTO Bulletin
October 2026
Hello Bennett Families,
Happy October!
I am in awe. I want to thank everyone who donated time, money, emails and mind power behind our fundraiser. We exceeded our goals which we could not have done without each and every person at Bennett and beyond. We are happy to say that the money is split with the school and those funds will continue to support our students, teachers and staff.
Thank you to all who attended our general meeting and curriculum night. An extra special thank you to our teachers and staff for putting on a very interesting and informative event.
We are still accepting payment for your membership and party money. If you haven't done one or both, you can complete these here.
We truly love seeing our wonderful parents volunteering around the school. As a quick reminder, everyone needs to complete a new volunteer application each school year. You can easily fill out the required form on the MISD website right here.
Please always feel free to reach out via email or Facebook if you have any questions, ideas, or just want to chat.
Warmly,
Bennett PTO President
Sincerely,
Laura Bruhn
Bennett PTO President

Mental Health Tip of the Month
This Month's Tip: Protect one unscheduled evening each week. Intentionally carving out a "slow night" with no homework rush or evening events gives the whole family a chance to decompress and reset.
