🚌💛 Happy Bus Drivers Week 2026! 💛🚌

This week at Bennett School, we’re celebrating the amazing bus drivers who safely transport our students each day with patience, care, and a smile. Rain or shine, early mornings and long afternoons—you are the reason our Panthers get to and from school safely.

Thank you for all you do for our students, families, and school community. We appreciate you today and every day!

Bennett Panthers, we are missing you! We hope all of our families are staying safe and warm during this time. Please remember to complete the remote learning packets sent home last week so students can be counted present for these days. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back soon! 🐾

This is Panther pride at its finest 🐾 When her students asked her to come watch them play, Mrs. Barbery drove across the county to support them. Teaching isn’t just what happens in the classroom — it’s showing up for our kids wherever they are. We are so thankful for teachers like her!
