Thanks to Special Education Teacher, Mr. Mike Lenox, his Fishing Club has been reeling in fun since launching this fall, with around 30 students from grades 7-12 ! In the fall, they cast their lines every Friday after school until the cold set in. While fewer students have joined the weekend ice fishing trips, those who came out this past Saturday had a great time on Burr Pond. The club is looking forward to bringing back Friday trips in late April/early May and fishing right into summer vacation!

Way to go, Benson Bears! 💙 Thank you to all the families who donated for this great cause.
