My name is Marisa Terry and I teach Kindergarten at Keystone Elementary School. This is my 5th year teaching in the district. I live in Blairstown with my husband and our two daughters. I love reading and playing with my girls, and watching them experience new things.

Focus on Education - Vote March 7

School Bond Vote - March 7!
Information
For the bond referendum on March 7, there are two questions on the ballot:
Question one describes the planned projects.
Question two explains how the projects will be funded.
Voters who support the bond referendum must vote "yes" on each question. If a voter marks "yes" on one question and "no" on the other question, this is essentially a “no” vote. The school district is required to have two “yes” selections for voter approval of the bond referendum.


We hope you can come and support these talented groups. #BeABobcat #APlaceToBelong

My name is Alyssa Schmuecker, and I am a K-3 Music and Technology teacher at both Atkins and Keystone Elementary. I am also the music director for the Fall Musical at the high school. This is my 18th year teaching in the district, and I was a 2000 graduate of Benton Community! I live in Watkins with my husband and our two children. I enjoy traveling, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.

Congratulations! #BeABobcat #APlaceToBelong

Hi, my name is Robyn Cherveny. I have been teaching for fifteen years. This is my tenth year at Benton and all of those years have been spent teaching at Atkins Elementary. I have taught kindergarten for nine years and this is my first year venturing up to second grade! A few facts about me: I have a son who is five and attends AK in Atkins, and my family lives on our century+ farm outside of Van Horne where we farm corn and soybeans. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, being outdoors, and attending my son’s activities. I am very passionate about health and fitness, and the farm life! Benton Community is a wonderful place to live. I am grateful to work in an environment with amazing staff, families, and students in a place where everyone feels like they belong. Go Bobcats!!
