​
Welcome back to all of the students and families,
 
I hope you and your families had a wonderful summer, and were able to connect with family, friends and nature.
 
This year at Hugh A. Bennett our school will be exploring the power of story.  We will be sharing our own stories, and building our collective stories in our classroom, school and community.  We will be celebrating what makes us unique while also building a strong sense of belonging though creating our collective story. 
 
Literacy, Mathematics and Well-Being will also continue to an area of focus as we work towards the goals of our School Development Plan.  As we move through our School Development Plan planning we will share out more specific information at our School Council meetings and through our website.
 
We're also looking forward to welcoming families throughout the school year. We will be having an in-person School Council meeting on Thursday, September 21 from 6:00-7:00 pm.  School Council is great way to connect with the school, and to build a sense of belonging with our families.  We hope to see you there!
 
We look forward to another year of learning and growing and can't wait to see everyone soon.
 
Wishing you well,
 
Mrs. Diaz​ and Mrs. Laythorpe
