The Benton County Historic Preservation Commission asked artists to design an artwork that answered the question, “What Does America Mean to You?” Benton artists in 4th through 8th grades submitted artworks and the Commission selected the Top 5 entries from each grade level. Selected artworks will be on display June through July at the Benton County Courthouse in Vinton!

We had some Norway Intermediate students participate in the YMCA Youth and Government Conference. Through hands-on learning and collaboration, they had the opportunity to:
🇺🇸 Understand the democratic process
🏛️ Analyze democratic principles within state government
📜 Create and debate laws through the democratic process

Experiences like these help students build leadership, communication, and civic engagement skills while gaining a deeper understanding of how government works. We are proud of the way our students and Mrs. Speer represented Benton Community.

My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is how welcoming students, staff, and families are to educators. Benton’s close-knit community has made me feel important and needed ever since I came here in 2021. Benton is truly a place to belong!

The best part of being a Bobcat is our amazing community of students and parents, our deep traditions create a sense of pride that connects every one of us. The Bobcat Pride makes everyone feel like they belong to something special.
