Bennett PTO Bulletin
October 2025
Dear Bennett Families,
Happy October!
Our first tailgate at the Boyd v. Prosper game was such a success. I want to thank the WatchDOGS and families that came out to support in the festivities and watch the game. BIG shout out to the sweet Bennett Bear Bailadoras who performed before the game. Y'all did such a great job!
Thank you to all who attended our general meeting and STEAM night. An extra special thank you to our staff and vendors for putting on a very interesting and fun 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.
As you are aware, MISD is currently experiencing several significant developments regarding school redistricting. While you may have noticed these updates in the Principal's previous newsletters and received correspondence from your room representatives, it is essential to acknowledge the presence of misinformation that is rapidly transitioning through our communities.
Should you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via email or Facebook. I will do my best to address your anxieties and provide the information I am able to.
Sincerely,
Laura Bruhn
Bennett PTO President

Mental Health Tip of the Month
A Moment to Paws
This Month's Tip: For this month, parents are encouraged to ask their children daily, "What was the best part of your day today? What was the hardest part?". This can facilitate a more in-depth discussion about their experiences at school, including how they are navigating the highs and lows of the day.
