Happy Boss' day to Mr. Hieronimus and Mrs.Vandrongelen!
Shane and Becky are extraordinary leaders, they lead by example. We are fortunate to have such wonderful leaders who are passionate about kids, and are positive and encouraging. They help guide us all daily in their actions, and words. The positivity from both of them is outstanding, and we are so grateful that they are our administrators here at Ben Reifel. They empower others while staying authentic. They are consistent leaders who are fully present and ready to assist whenever needed. We wish them a wonderful Bosses Day today!

Babysitting provided for younger siblings. Snacks will be served.
This past weekend, students from the Bison Marching Band marched on to the field for the Star Spangled Banner performance at the SDSU v. USD game.

We know students will remember this special day forever and thank Promising Futures for making this all possible!
