Beneke Blast

Dear Beneke Families,

As we enter our final week before Spring Break, we want to remind our Bears to stay focused and continue giving their best effort in the classroom. Our students have been working incredibly hard toward their academic growth and learning goals, and we want to finish this week strong. Every day of learning matters, and we appreciate your support in encouraging your child to stay engaged and ready to learn.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to all of the parents and families who attended our Family Academic Night. Your partnership and involvement make a tremendous difference in supporting student success. It was wonderful to see so many families learning about ways to support their children at home and celebrating the hard work of our students.

As we approach Spring Break, we also have several exciting events planned on campus. Please take a moment to review the school calendar so your child does not miss out on opportunities to participate in activities such as the Fun Run, Picture Day, and other upcoming events. These moments help build great memories for our students while keeping them engaged in our school community.

Thank you for your continued support of Beneke Elementary. Together, we will keep our Bears focused, motivated, and striving for success.

Have a wonderful week!

Principal Smith

Estimadas familias de Beneke,

Al entrar en nuestra última semana antes de las vacaciones de primavera, queremos recordarles a nuestros Bears la importancia de mantenerse enfocados y continuar dando su mejor esfuerzo en el salón de clases. Nuestros estudiantes han estado trabajando muy duro para alcanzar sus metas de crecimiento académico y aprendizaje, y queremos terminar esta semana con éxito. Cada día de aprendizaje es importante, y agradecemos su apoyo al motivar a sus hijos a mantenerse comprometidos y listos para aprender.

También queremos extender un agradecimiento especial a todos los padres y familias que asistieron a nuestra Noche Académica Familiar. Su participación y apoyo marcan una gran diferencia en el éxito de nuestros estudiantes. Fue maravilloso ver a tantas familias aprendiendo maneras de apoyar a sus hijos en casa y celebrando el esfuerzo de nuestros estudiantes.

Al acercarnos a las vacaciones de primavera, también tenemos varios eventos emocionantes planeados en la escuela. Por favor, tómese un momento para revisar el calendario de eventos para que su hijo(a) no pierda la oportunidad de participar en actividades como el Fun Run, el Día de Fotos y otros eventos próximos. Estas experiencias ayudan a crear recuerdos especiales para nuestros estudiantes mientras continúan participando en nuestra comunidad escolar.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo a Beneke Elementary. Juntos seguiremos ayudando a nuestros Bears a mantenerse enfocados, motivados y encaminados hacia el éxito.

¡Que tengan una excelente semana!

Atentamente,

Julie Smith

Dear Spring ISD Family,

Looking to celebrate a Spring ISD employee? Now’s your chance! You can nominate anyone serving in the district—be it a teacher, custodian, secretary, clerk, mechanic, bus driver, librarian, nurse, or counselor—for the Employee Excellence Award and honor their outstanding contributions.

Awarded by the Spring ISD Board of Trustees, this recognition honors employees who exemplify the district’s guiding principles, core values, and embody the attributes outlined in our Leadership Definition. Each month during the school year, one employee is selected, and from these honorees, a grand prize winner will be announced at the Spring ISD Employee Recognition Banquet in May. The only employees not eligible for this award are Senior Leadership Team members and members of the Board of Trustees.

We’re looking for employees who are bringing the Spring ISD mission to life and helping us reach each and every Spring ISD student. To nominate them for the Spring ISD Board of Trustees Employee Excellence Award, complete the online recognition nomination form.

A successful nomination will include as much detail as possible to describe why the person should be considered for an award. For more information, click here.

Honored Schools Launches January 12!
We’re excited to share that our school is partnering with Honored Schools, a program that celebrates the incredible teachers who make a difference every day. Beginning January 12, 2026, students and families can visit HonoredSchools.org to share a story about a teacher who has impacted their life.

Each “Honor Story” will be shared directly with the teacher and featured on Honored’s national Honor Roll. At the end of the year, 2-6 teachers in our region will receive the Honored Schools Life-Changing Teacher Award, which includes a $2,500 prize.

Keep an eye out for flyers coming home next week—and thank you for helping us spread the warmth this winter by recognizing our amazing educators!

¡El programa Honored Schools se lanza el 12 de enero!

A partir del 12 de enero de 2026, los estudiantes y las familias pueden visitar HonoredSchools.org para compartir la historia de un maestro que ha tenido un impacto positivo en su vida.

Cada “Honor Story” se comparte directamente con el maestro y se publica en el Honor Roll nacional de Honored. Al final del año escolar, uno o más maestros de nuestra región recibirán el Premio Life-Changing Teacher, que incluye $2,500.

Esté atento a los folletos que se enviarán a casa la próxima semana—¡y gracias por ayudarnos a difundir un poco de calidez este invierno reconociendo a nuestros increíbles educadores!
