Each Friday Bennett celebrates a different theme to motivate student attendance. This can be anything from rocking your favorite sports team gear, wearing a hat, or even coming to school in your pajamas. Each Friday theme is listed on the monthly calendar sent home with students. 

Every Halloween, parents and staff line the halls with tables teeming with goodies. After lunch, students take their treat bags and go around the school from table to table so they can pick a treat before returning to class for their classroom parties. 

Grades Pre-K-5 participate in our yearly Holiday Program every December before school lets out for the winter. Each class comes up with a spectacular performance and parents are invited to one of two separate shows to watch their hard work and planning come to life. 

During the week of Valentine's dance, Bennett hosts their annual Daddy Daughter dance in the gym. Tickets are sold in the weeks leading up to the big event and on the night of the dance, the gym is transformed into a magical wonderland with a dance floorThe Daddy Daughter dance at Bennett has become a beloved tradition that brings the community together and celebrates the special bond between fathers and daughters.

Every year the city of Detroit hosts a 5 de Mayo Parade along Vernor Hwy where hundreds of people gather to remember the Battle of Puebla. On a much smaller scale, Bennett students go around the block with handmade flags and maracas before returning to school to enjoy their classroom parties. 

Right before school lets out for the summer, we close out an amazing year with an epic field day. Grades Pre-K - 5 spend all day going from center to center while staff monitors and runs the show. Wether it be tug-o-war, a foamtasitc foam party on the law, or cooling down with a sweet treat, our field day is always a hit.
