Ben's Buzz:
March 30, 2016
The National French Contest
is an annual competition sponsored by the
American Association of Teachers of French.
Grades 6 students participate in the
FLES Contest which consists of 30 questions. Five students in Grade Six received a score of 29 or above which means they make it to the final speaking test. We are so very proud of them! Bravo!
The students are: Corine J., Mia M., Abishek R., Sparsh V., and Margaret D.
 Congratulations to our Fine and Performing Arts Department! We are thrilled to announce that we have been named one of 118 schools across the nation to be a SupportMusic Merit recipient by the NAMM Foundation.
Please join me in extending a hearty congratulations to Ben Benjamin and all the staff of our Performing Arts Department! We'd also like to thank all of the students and their parents for their support of our incredible Fine and Performing Arts Department. Especially all of you who make the commitment to participate in early band and chorus rehearsals, or join in our annual spring musical. This is such a big part of what makes the Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School such a special place!
Have a great rest of the week!
