It’s a Wild Rainy Wednesday and we’re wildly happy to feature Kamilia Brumley at Bennett Elementary!
Kamilia Brumley is in her 4th year of teaching. Her favorite thing about her class this year is getting to witness all of the different personalities and watching them work together.
She says her students are kind, hardworking and they keep her laughing. She feels truly blessed to get to spend her days with them.
And her most WILDLY favorite teacher treat is peanut M&Ms!
AILYC members, Zaiya Ward and D’Lyric Mitchell creating orange shirts to wear Thursday, October 5th "Every Child Matters" Day.
American Indian Leadership Youth Council will wear orange in honor of children forced into boarding school against their will. Most were abused, and many did not survive and never saw their homes or families again. We wear orange to remember and honor these children. We are asking all students, even those not in AILYC to wear orange on Thursday. AILYC will entertain you on Thursday at 11 with our social dances and a small program.
Join us in the 4 square area at 11 to pay our respects. #everychildmatters
Once a Savage, always a Savage!
Bennett Elementary was honored to be visited by a former teacher who taught at Bennett over 50 years ago. Mrs. Vicki James was hired by Mr. Rector Johnson to replace a Fourth-grade teacher who according to him had “run off”. Mrs. James said she had no experience, but the librarian at the time, Mrs. Ruby Grace, took her under her wing and taught her the ropes. She said the average class size for that time was 30 kids and she made $200 a month. Her car payment was around $60 and she paid $50 in rent. She said that didn't leave her a lot left over. Her first year she put on 10 pounds because the cafeteria served the best yeast rolls and if you didn’t have duty you went to the back of the cafeteria and ate rolls with butter. She met her husband, Mr. Vic James, the high school counselor at the time, in the halls of Bennett Elementary. They were coming back to visit where they first met and get a picture together. One thing she was amazed about was the air conditioning vents in the classrooms. She said when she was teaching at Bennett there was no air conditioning. Mr. and Mrs. James both agreed teaching in Broken Bow Schools was some of the best years of their lives and they loved being part of the Savage family.
We enjoyed being part of their stroll down memory lane. Thank you for sharing your memories and experiences with us. You both created special memories for all of us here we will not soon forget.
Someone attending will win a pair of AirPods! Sponsored by the student led FCA.
Public Notice: FCC and FEMA have a nationwide emergency alert test set for today at 1:20pm central. Expect your cellphone to have a short alert.
The purpose of the test is to ensure that the systems continue to be an effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level.
This is only a test.
The Savage Pride Band will compete in their first marching contest of the season this Saturday, October 7th in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.
The Savage Pride will take the field at 6:45pm. It is free admission for the contest. I am encouraging Savage fans to come out and support the kids that are always supporting all of our Broken Bow teams and groups. They have worked extremely hard. It will be so special for them to march on the field seeing and hearing their community in the stands rooting for them.
We have such a special show this year. Don’t miss it! I hope to see many of you there!!!!! -Mrs. Thomas
Our gourmet popcorn fundraiser for Dierks Elementary ends tomorrow. A big thanks to everyone supporting us!
