The Board of Directors met last evening to determine which of the four elementary buildings would attend the new one. The Board voted for Bellefonte Elementary and Benner Elementary students to attend the new elementary building in the fall of 2026!
This decision was driven by the Board's commitment to ensure the well-being and success of all students in the District. The physical challenges of the buildings, combined with the need to allocate resources to facilities that can better meet the long-term needs of our students, made this an unavoidable conclusion. The goal is to provide every child with a safe, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment, and are confident that this step, though painful, is necessary to achieve that goal.

At the end of October, Benner Elementary wrapped up the Kids’ Heart Challenge. All the students in the school participated in a culminating event that included jumping rope and an obstacle course. All students worked hard to do their best while enjoying time with their classmates. But they worked even harder earning donations this year…and the school reached its goal and raised an amazing $16,835.43, which is almost $2,000 more than our previous best! This money will be used to provide vital research and educational programs through the American Heart Association. Great job, everyone!
