Good Luck to our Scholars Bowl team today!! #bengalstrong
WOW is the first word that comes to mind after hearing Kevin Olson deliver his strong words of wisdom today to our Bengal students! His message was so important for our students to hear! We hope each of them walked away today with a different perspective on difficult things in their life they can not change or control. Please ask your student tonight about the messages of hope and strength that Kevin shared with them today. Below is his website with more information:

Thank you so much, Kevin!
Today's Bengal Spotlight Featured PAWS is Mrs. Argo's class. Mrs. Argo's PAWS Class is a very diverse bunch with many different interests. They enjoy playing games like Silent Ball and Pictionary, but also like a good Dodgeball challenge. They are usually up for an all-school PAWS Challenge but are frustrated with getting 2nd place on a number of occasions. They finally achieved 1st Place status in the door decorating contest this past December! Woohoo! They understand that perseverance pays off.
Good Luck to our Scholar's Bowl team today!
