BGS Parents,
I want to thank you for a great semester with some truly outstanding kids! Today, we had a fantastic final day of the fall semester! I also want to thank our faculty and staff for the tremendous job they have done navigating the challenges the last two years have presented. We are really blessed to have such a marvelous staff at Benton #47. We look forward to seeing you January 4, 2022, to kick off what I believe will be an incredible spring term.
On behalf of myself, the Board of Education, and everybody at Benton #47 – Merry Christmas!
