Bennie Elementary School

It is awesome! I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!

Submitted on May 8, 2011

Bennie Elementary School

TG: My family has been with Bennie Elementary for 5 years and we love our school. The faculty has never missed a beat. They are there for the smallest needs like once my son for got his milk money so the principal (who happened to be in line with him) bought him some, to more serious concerns like if you think your child might have special needs, they have all the proffessionals you might need there to meet you. The office faculty has always been helpful and attentive to all the needs of every child who walks in. Bennie gets an A+
