Good Morning BIS Family. After much consideration and thought we have decided to give four (4) tickets per child for the upcoming 5th grade promotion ceremony. Due to COVID being back on the rise we think it is best to limit the number of guests for safety. We will Facebook Live the event on our school Facebook page for viewing. Masks will be required for attendance. Your child will be bringing home a letter and their tickets today. Thank you for understanding.

Dear Parents/Guardians:
Our 5th grade students have worked hard this year to achieve the goals set for and by them. We would like to celebrate these students as they finish their time here at Bennettsville Intermediate School and begin their new journey as 6th graders.
On Wednesday, June 1st we will host a 5th grade cook-out in the morning. We will have food, drinks, games, music, etc. This is a half-day, so the students will be dismissed early. More details will come closer to the date. Attendance will be determined by behavior between now and the day before the cook-out.
The evening of June 1st at 5:30 pm we will host a Promotion Ceremony in the auditorium. This will be in place of their regular awards ceremony. We are asking that our girls wear black or white dresses or black dress pants and a white top and our boys wear black pants and white dress shirts. More details will come closer to time.
We are so excited to be able to do this for our students this year! If you have any questions or concerns please contact your child’s homeroom teacher or the front office.
Yours in education,
The 5th Grade Teachers
