Mrs. Benay's MBS Blog

It has been a busy summer.  I really enjoy the time to work with Ms. Millham getting ready for the new school year.  We spend quite a bit of time meeting and talking about plans for the new school year.  I also work with Mrs. Reith to order supplies, books and materials for you.  Ms. Racicot helps to get our “information system” ready.

When I wasn’t at work, I enjoyed some relaxing time at home.  I finally finished making a baby quilt that I started last February and visited the baby, who is now a toddler!  I rode my bike a lot, took lots of yoga classes, and floated in the pool with my husband.  I read LOTS of books.  I read some novels, and also read books about education.

I took one trip to New York City, where my daughter lives.  She is a teacher in the New York City public schools.  We had a great time talking, shopping, eating in restaurants, and going to museums. My son Adam came home from college.  He is a film major, so Adam and I love going to movies together.

I can’t wait to see all of you, and to meet our new Ospreys!  I want to hear about your summer!  I hope you are able to come to the barbeque on the evening of August 25th.  Another chance to see us will be our informal Open House on August 30th from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.  I am hoping some fifth graders will come to be “ambassadors” to help our new third graders and new families get around the school.

For both the barbeque and the “ambassadors,” sign up on the home page!  See you SOON!
