We are so EXCITED to meet all of our Bulldog students and families! Please join us for Back to School Night on Tuesday, August 12th from 5:30-6:30 pm. Visit Benson West, see your classroom, meet your teacher, see friends and grab a FREE snow cone!!

We hope everyone can stop by!!

Students checked out school library books in May for summer reading. Families can begin to return books to the library at Back to School Night. We'll have a couple of baskets out and available to drop off books.

Thanks a TON for helping to return these books!
