Parents and Students, I have attached a copy of our weekly plan of the week, the Bulldog Bulletin. This will include an outline of the activities planned for the week. It is subject to change and is based on information provided prior to publishing. I am excited to join the Bennington school family and community. Prior to this year, I served as the K-12 principal in the Southern Lyon County school district for 14 years. Before becoming an administrator, I served as a 9-12 English teacher, coach and sponsor in Moundridge for 14 years. As we continue to move through the 23-24 school year, we will work to provide opportunities for students to grow and demonstrate their skills in the classroom and through activities. I am looking forward to a great school year! Thank you for supporting our students and staff! Have a great week!
