Vision :

The vision of the faculty and staff of Bendersville Elementary School is to provide all students with the tools to become productive, responsible citizens. This can be accomplished through a partnership with the family and community working together to provide the necessary resources and support to produce a positive educational environment essential for learning.

Since the students currently at Bendersville will graduate and find employment in the Twenty-first Century, it is essential that they acquire skills in gathering, organizing, and analyzing information. They must develop skills in higher order thinking and solving multi-step problems. Students must have access to modern technology and learn how to use these tools in their everyday lives. They must be able to express themselves through written and oral communication as well as the arts. It is important that students be active participants in both mental and physical activities - life and learning are not spectator sports. They must learn to work together with others in a cooperative effort and to appreciate the contributions and worth of other cultures and accept individual differences. They must realize that they are part of a society and therefore must work within that society's rules and structures for the good of all.
