✨ Shine On Staff Spotlight: Mrs. Bridgett Atwood! ✨
This week we are excited to celebrate Mrs. Bridgett Atwood, one of our wonderful 3rd Grade Teachers here at Bennett Elementary!
Mrs. Atwood is in her 12th year of education and is currently in her 2nd year at Bennett — and we are so grateful she’s part of our Bennett family. 💛
When asked what she loves most about working at our school, she shared:
💬 “I love the positive environment that is created from all of our staff members!”
✨ A few fun facts about Mrs. Atwood:
🍪 Favorite snack: Arby’s Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie
🥪 Favorite restaurant: Subway
🐾 Fun fact: She loves animals! She has 5 dogs, 10 laying hens, 1 rooster, 3 ducks, and a friendly turkey at home! (She says there might even be a partridge in a pear tree!)
💡 Classroom mantra she teaches her students:
“I am safe. I am kind. I am loved. I am strong. I am honest. I am confident.”
She hopes every child believes this about themselves.
What always makes her smile? 😊
Seeing her students laughing and enjoying learning!
Thank you, Mrs. Atwood, for filling your classroom and our school with positivity, encouragement, and heart. Bennett shines brighter because of you! 🌟💛

Ready… set… DONATE! 🎁💛
🧦The annual RJMS “PROJECT CHRISTMAS” is one of our favorites!
“For anyone interested in donating to the residents of the Broken Bow nursing home, we will be accepting donations through Friday, December 12th. For many of them, these gifts are all they will receive. We include our students in the delivery of these donations and to watch them give and interact with the elderly that supported them when they could is a gift itself. I never leave there with dry eyes. No donation is too small. Please spread the word. Thanks in advance.” -Principal Belinda Highful
Remember: This year’s deadline is 12/12/25.
🏈BREAKING NEWS/Time and Location: NEXT Friday night’s lights (12/5) shine on the Broken Bow Savages vs Tuttle at …

“I am beyond excited to announce that the Broken Bow Savage #Quizbowl team is going to Area!” Says Coach Clowers.
After a long, hard weekend, battling tough teams and tough questions, the team pulled out a 4th place finish at the Regional tournament. This qualifies the team to attend the Area tournament in January, hoping to make state.
These students were on top of their game, and even though they ended 4th, they were only one win away from playing in the championship game.
“I am so proud of them and proud to be their coach!!” She exclaimed!
“We also want to give a huge shout out of thanks to Mrs. Vee and Mrs. Bothe who helped us prepare by playing a student/teacher game. We’ll be playing another soon, so keep your eyes peeled!” She said.
Way to go, Savages!!!

#RJMS Parents/Students:
On Monday, November 17th MS students with ALL passing grades and no more than 3 unexcused absences will get to enjoy GAME DAY during 6th and 7th hours. We've encouraged them to bring decks of cards, card games and board games to enjoy within the group they've been assigned to. Please remind them on Sunday night of this request.
Lastly, the students that didn't qualify this round will be given those 2 class periods to catch up on work so that maybe the next go around, they too can enjoy the activities that we've planned for them.
As always, thank you for your support. It is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
The RJMS Administration
