Dear Heritage Families,

It was a busy short week at Heritage! We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of our families who attended conferences on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. We always enjoy welcoming families into the building and appreciate the opportunity to share the wonderful things your child(ren) are accomplishing here at Heritage.

We would also like to thank our PTO and dedicated volunteers for organizing the Valentine’s Exchanges on Wednesday. It was wonderful to have time for treats, bingo, and celebrating our classroom communities together before the long weekend.

We look forward to seeing our students back on Monday, February 16th.

Take care,

Ms. Woodrich

Heritage Principal

Congratulations to our February Student of the Month winners! Heritage is so proud of all of you, keep up the good work!

We are excited to share a fun opportunity for our students! The Omaha Supernovas have generously provided a complimentary ticket to each student for their upcoming match on Sunday, February 15th, as part of Bennington Public School Night.

Families can redeem the voucher for one free ticket and will have the option to purchase additional tickets if desired. 

We hope this is a fun way for students and families to enjoy a night of professional volleyball while celebrating Bennington Public Schools. Additional details about redeeming the voucher are included on the voucher itself.

Thank you to the Omaha Supernovas for supporting our students, and we hope to see many of our families there!

If you plan to come visit during lunchtime, please let the office know by 9:00am if you are going to purchase a school lunch so we can prepare enough food. Lunches are $4.90 for adults, and no change can be given.

You are more than welcome to bring food from home, but please NO fast food. If you are bringing a peanut or tree nut item in your lunch, please do NOT sit at our peanut free table in the cafeteria. Thank you!
