BPA Hosts Exciting Evening Of All Things Big

Marti Lotman
The Benjamin Parents’ Association hosted a night of all things “big” on February 3. The All-School Community Event, dubbed “the Big Event,” had something to keep the whole family entertained.

TBS families enjoyed fun oversized games, interactive sports challenges including a football toss and photo ops on an oversized inflatable chair.

Benjamin students and parents came clad in orange and blue to cheer on the boys varsity basketball team in their last game of the season, which took place simultaneously.

The Benjamin community was treated to a delicious cookout provided by Cheney Brothers and finished the night with a movie under the stars.

“The big Event was my favorite event,” said BPA Community Event Co-coordinator Willa Cohen, who organized the night along with Denise Caruso. “Everyone had a fabulous time and it was nice to see all three divisions take part in such a fun evening.”

"The Big Event turned out to be a great success this year.  Mother nature throwing two natural disasters at us seemed to almost help the Benjamin community come together even more," co-organizer Denise Caruso said.

"By moving the varsity basketball game to the lower school, I believe it added a little nostalgia for the seniors that were leaving our school this year that grew-up on the campus. The other feedback I received was that parents with younger children felt it was safer to let their young ones run around since they were familiar with where they were and what they could and could not do by school rules.  It is so important for us to have this event every year to try and bring the two campuses together. Even though the school has grown and continues to grow each year, we are still a small community of families that look out for one another."
