Up next for our new staff members, our new EC Teacher Brittany Petty!
"Hey y'all! My name is Brittany Petty and I am the new EC Resource teacher. I serve at both Bonlee and Bennett. I spent 12 years in a general education classroom serving two different counties and four different grade levels. I am so blessed that I get to serve among some amazing teachers and staff at Bennett. I have been married for 12 years to my husband Adam and we have two children who will be attending Bennett as well. Easton, our oldest, is 9 and he loves to play baseball. Saylor, our youngest, is 5 and just loves to cheer on her brother. In my spare time I love spending time watching baseball or spending time around our family farm with our two dogs, Rhett and Chase. I believe that all children can learn and are capable of achieving great things.
Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a reward from Him.
-Psalm 127:3"
Please help us welcome Mrs. Petty to Bennett School! 🐾
