We have been meeting the needs of our students and staff for more than twenty years. Our Association was founded in 1998, under the guidance and expertise of Phillip Brothman, &#8217;56. During that time, the involvement of you, our dedicated alumni, has increased. Together we are guaranteeing that Bennett students are getting an equitable shot at success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are very proud to announce that our Alumni Association is now a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization! All donations and dues are now tax deductible as the law permits. A huge thanks to the commit- tee that worked so diligently with lawyer Mark Longo,&#8217;80, who provided his services to our organization pro bono!!! There&#8217;s a more in- depth explanation of what this 501(c)3 designation means to our organization inside this issue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sponsor two events each fall, which I hope you will put on your calendars and attend! These events are designed to honor you, our alumni, for your contributions to our Bennett community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday, September 22nd at 12:30pm marks our 22nd Annual Meet- ing and Brunch, which will be held at Classic V Restaurant. The cost is $25.00 per person. Not only is this a great chance to reconnect with friends, and see where you might be able to help in our Association, but it&#8217;s where we recognize distinguished alumni through our Honor Roll Induction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our annual Sports Hall of Fame will be held on Saturday, October 19th at Bennett High School at 4:00 p.m. At that time, we will honor some of our outstanding former athletes. The cost is $20.00 per per- son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will find further information concerning these events inside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come and join us! It will be a great time to re-connect with old friends and to make new ones! See you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Article Headlines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>From Our President<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Renovating the Mentoring Program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Principal&#8217;s Update<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Annual Alumni Brunch and Honor Roll Induction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mini Grants &#8211; Alumni Contributions Helping our Students!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mini Grants &#8211; The Social Studies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Department<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jackie Albarella: Renaissance Woman and Bennett Technology Teacher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mission Statement of the Bennett Alumni Association<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sports Hall of Fame &#8211; 17th Induction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mini Grants &#8211; Mr. Jesse McVerby<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regents Exams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Class Notes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Memoriam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mini Grants &#8211; Ms. Amy Visniesky<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Chess Club<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1965 Class Reunion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alumni Redesign Team Enjoys Support of Superintendent Cash!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Big V. &#8211; Bennett Teacher Revered by Students and Staff<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Annual Alumni Brunch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2019 Community Foundation Donors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Honor Roll Nomination Form<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Class Reunions &#8211; 1969<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mini Grants &#8211; Ms. Lisa Fisher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tiger Clothing Den<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The possibilities of being a 501(c)3 Not-For-Profit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bennett Alumni Association Inc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mini Grants &#8211; Ms. Melissa Kenney<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Painting Club<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mini Grants &#8211; Mr. Jesse McVerby<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bowling Team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bennettalumni.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/beacon\/1280"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bennettalumni.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/beacon"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bennettalumni.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/beacon"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bennettalumni.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
