Thanks for all you do to make Benton Community a great place to be!
Starting next Monday, our chapter is putting on a food drive called, Fill the Tractor. There will be a tractor donated by P&K to sit at the school and we will fill it with non-perishable food items. Members will need to take this to their 3rd block classes where they will get credit and the winning class gets pizza!
