We are kicking off the school year by celebrating James Reed & Logan Michaud! 👏🔥
While Mr. Ian Lane was absent, James and Logan stepped up BIG TIME! 💻🙌 They used their own work time to help their peers troubleshoot technology issues and make sure everyone had what they needed to be successful in class.
That is what it means to BE THE STANDARD! ⭐
💪 Be Proactive — They saw a need and took action.
🤝 Synergize — They worked together and helped others succeed.
James & Logan, you didn’t just fix technology problems—you helped your classmates have a better learning experience. THAT is leadership in action! 👏🐾
Way to live out the 7 Habits in your everyday life, boys! We are proud of you! 🧡🖤
🏆 BE THE STANDARD. LIVE THE 7 HABITS. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
#BeTheStandard #BengalStrong #7Habits #Synergize #BeProactive #LeadershipInAction #BengalPride 🐾


Students examined samples of five resources (copper, wood, water, oil shale, and fossil rock) and ranked them from most to least valuable. In their groups, they discussed what makes natural resources valuable. They also researched which natural resources are renewable vs. nonrenewable. #Celebrate379

We are kicking off the school year with a SERIOUSLY AWESOME reader! 🎉📖
Our very first Bengal Library Reader of the Month for 2026-2027 is a 6th grader who has already shown us exactly what it means to be a reader! ❤️📚
Here’s the story that made us smile: Mom was THRILLED to see her choose to read her library book during a road trip… while her cell phone was sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HER. 😂📱➡️📖
Because sometimes the best adventure is the one you find between the pages! 🌎✨
And that is something worth celebrating! Research consistently shows that students who read regularly build stronger vocabulary, improve reading comprehension, and develop better overall literacy skills. In other words… reading is basically a superpower. 🦸♀️📚
💥 “Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.” 💥
We are SO proud of this Bengal reader for choosing a book, choosing an adventure, and showing us that a good story can beat a screen—even on a road trip! 🚗💨📖
👏📚 CONGRATULATIONS to our first Bengal Library Reader of the Month! Keep turning those pages, keep exploring new worlds, and keep being an AMAZING example for your fellow Bengals!
