🐾 Meet Bobby the Bobcat! 🐾

It was an epic day at Bennion Elementary as our bobcat made a special visit to reveal the winning name! 🎉

After an exciting school-wide naming contest, we are thrilled to introduce our new friend… Bobby the Bobcat! 💙💛

And what better way for Bobby to arrive than with a special ride from Principal McDonald! 🚗🐾

Welcome to Bennion, Bobby! We can’t wait for all the adventures ahead! 🐾⛰️

I love being the principal at Bennion Elementary and feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a wonderful school community! 💙💛

This is my 19th year in education, and I’ve loved every chapter of my career—from teaching junior high English, to serving as a district instructional and literacy coach, to becoming an administrator. I feel truly lucky to be part of a profession where every day brings opportunities to make a difference in a child’s life.

My connection to Granite School District goes way back—I grew up attending school in the district and even met my husband at Skyline High School. We’ve now been married for 30 years and have four grown children, along with a brand-new granddaughter who joined our family this summer! ❤️

When I’m not at school, I love traveling, hiking, boxing classes, and going to live concerts. I’m excited for another great year at Bennion and feel so grateful to be a Bobcat! 🐾

Let’s welcome our new assistant principal, Ami Reidford. Here is more from Ami.

My name is Ami Reidford. I am starting year 21 in education. Over those 21 years, I have taught third grade, worked with struggling readers in grades K-6. I have also worked extensively with adult learners through supporting new teachers, and instructional coaching.

My hobbies include being outside and going on adventures with my family. My husband also works in Granite School District. We have a 13 year old son.

I’m excited to join the Bennion Community.
